Today:
The First Quarter Moon starts its monthly appearance high in the south at 7:00 PM, while a little daylight lingers. Two hours later the Moon has shifted slightly lower into the southwest. In the last hint of dusk, stars and planets have appeared, showing the Moon to have shifted to the left of Jupiter, its companion last evening.
