Today:
The Full “Milk” Moon rises as the sun sets, climbing a bit higher and due southeast as darkness settles in by 9 o’clock or so, edging through the constellation Scorpius. Cast your gaze to the upper right of the Moon, where you can identify the bright and reddish star Antares, the so-called Heart of the Scorpion. There are also references to a Blue Moon, though this comes from astrology and social media, rather than astronomy.
