Eye on the Night Sky
Monday, February 09, 2026
Today:
Night owls can see the Moon, just one day past its Last Quarter, rise in the southeast near 2:15 AM tomorrow. Just to its lower left will rise the red star Antares, rising at about 2:50 AM, and the brightest star within the constellation Scorpius. The two will ride low through the sky during the predawn hours, before fading into the twlight, one quarter of the way up and due south, at 6:40 AM.
