Today:
While the western skies are littered with bright stars and planets, the southeastern skies welcome one of the summer’s most noteworthy constellations, Scorpius, the Scorpion. The Scorpion’s brightest star, Antares, emerges from the twilight between 9:15 and 9:30 PM, edging higher in the east-southeast, easier to see an hour later.
