Eye on the Night Sky
Monday, April 27, 2026
Today:
Orion is now very low in the western skies, by the end of twilight, his feet along the horizon by 9:00 PM, with his belt only visible with a perfect view to the west and southwest. Orion’s stars are among the brightest in the sky because they are part of our neighborhood in the Milky Way Galaxy. Our Sun, along with many of Orion’s stars, are among millions in a minor band of stars in the Milky Way Galaxy called the Orion Spur.
