Today:
A narrow window from the end of twilight to the rising of the Moon, from 6 to 7 o’clock this evening, offers a splendid view of the Milky Way arching up in the southeast, littered with the bright stars of Orion on the right, and the Twins of Gemini, the Little Dog star Procyon, and the Great Dog star Sirius on the left.
