Eye on the Night Sky
Friday, February 06, 2026
Today:
Shortly before 11 PM, the waning gibbous Moon will rise arm in arm with Spica, the brightest star of the constellation Virgo. They will break to horizon in the east-southeast, with the bluish-white Spica just to the Moon’s left. If you’ll be up very late, you can follow this conjunction across the southern sky by 4 AM. The predawn twilight will bleach out the Moon’s companion, but the Moon will remain visible until it sets at around 9:20 tomorrow morning.
