Today:
Tonight Leo catches up to the Moon. So much so, in fact, that Regulus will briefly disappear behind the Moon in much of the continental U.S. But such an occultation will be a near miss for those of us in New England. Regulus will pass just barely over the top of the Moon at around 9:30 PM. Although slowly, Regulus will then slip farther and farther to the Moon’s west for the rest of the night, as both drop to western horizon at around 3:20 AM.
