Today:
Late this evening, the waning Gibbous Moon, one day from its Last Quarter, works its way above the east-northeast horizon in the company of Mars to its upper right, somewhat subdued by the Moon’s glare. You’ll find the pair one third of the way up, due east, at midnight, progressing past due south near 5 o’clock, and still quite high in the southwest as the blush of morning twilight grows near 6 o’clock.
