Today:
When watching the waning Gibbous Moon climb into the skies before 9 o’clock, you’ll see that the brightest star in Leo, the Lion, Regulus, leads the way, above the Moon, and a bit right. Leo is just entering into its best early evening viewing, which will last through the winter and into the spring, before the late sunsets of the early summer push its viewabiltiy into the late evening or overnight hours.
