Today:
The waxing Moon presides high over the bright collection of stars in the southwest and west. Jupiter is the brightest object, well below the Moon, with the brighter stars Capella well right, and Procyon, the Little Dog, well left. Below, appearing to stand along the horizon, the mighty Orion gets ready to depart for his summer’s rest by late this month.
