Eye on the Night Sky

Today:
High in the southwest by 9:15 PM, Regulus, the brightest star in Leo, appears just above and to the left of the Moon. Regulus sits very close to the path of the Sun, the same general path that the Moon follows, so these two have a regularly scheduled meeting every 27 days and 8 hours.
