Today:
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.
Monday:
A little after 1:00 AM, night owls can see the Gemini Twins, somewhat horizontally oriented, rise just east of northeast. Betwixt them in the Waning Crescent Moon. Just beneath, and rising last, is Jupiter. All will continue to rise into northeastern sky, Jupiter and the Twins disappearing into the Dawn at around 6:00 AM.
