Today:
A celestial “flash mob” rises in the east-northeast late this evening. The waning Moon, nearly at its Last Quarter, starts things off as it rises near 10 o’clock. It then invites the Twins of Gemini to join it, about an hour later, which gives the Twins an idea. The reach out to the red planet Mars, and by midnight, this group climbs higher into the east-northeast.
