Today:
The brilliant bluish-white star Vega, appearing one quarter of the way above the northwest horizon as darkness settled in by 5:30 PM, does an interesting thing for the next month or so. It will set tonight about 8:30 PM far to the north. But it will rise again 5 and a half hours later at 2:00 AM, climbing into the northeast.
