Eye on the Night Sky
Friday, April 03, 2026
Today:
While the Moon, just two days past Full, continues to bathe the skies with moonlight, the western skies play host to several bright objects capable of competing with the lunar glow. These include the bright stars Procyon, Betelgeuse, Aldebaran, and Capella. High in the western sky is Jupiter. Now positioned squarely between the Gemini Twins, Jupiter will drift slowly to the left, toward Pollux, for the rest of the month.
