Today:
Slightly before 10 PM, the Waning Gibbous Moon will rise in the northeast. Slightly above and to the right of the Moon appears the Pleiades, the cluster of starts also known as the Seven Sisters. The Moon and the Pleiades will then rise high in the eastern sky through the night.
Saturday:
Mars, for all practical purposes, has finished its evening appearance for the year, lost in the Sun’s glare to the west and southwest, although a pair binoculars can still help, scanning just above the horizon during a narrow window from 7:40 to 7:50 PM, possibly even catching a glimpse of the Spica below the red planet.
Sunday:
The Milky Way arcs across the sky from the northeast, where the bright star Capella is rising, running through the Summer Triangle overhead, and then is anchored in the southwest with the setting star Antares, the red star marking the heart of Scorpio, the Scorpion.
