Eye on the Night Sky
Tuesday, March 24, 2026
Today:
The waxing gibbous Moon floats high in the west by 9 PM, and is surrounded, though at some distance, by some of the brighter lights in the night sky. Higher and the right is Capella; even higher and to the left is Jupiter; below and to the right is Betelgeuse, and directly below is Aldebaran, the brightest star in Taurus. But immediately to Moon’s right is Elnath, the second brightest star in Taurus.
