Today:
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.
Tuesday:
In the northern sky at dusk, Ursa Major, the Big Dipper contained within it, is nosing toward the horizon, but only to skirt it, before rising into the northeast after midnight. This and its companion, the Little Bear, also known as the Little Dipper, are all revolving around the tip of the Little Dipper’s handle, the star Polaris, also known as the North Star.
Wednesday:
At around 8:00 PM, the evening twilight will fade, showing Saturn to have risen in the east-southeast. Saturn will ride across the southern sky throughout the night, among the faint stars of Pisces and Aquarius, but a little closer to Pisces. Saturn’s orbit of 29 and a half years means it changes very little over several months relative to the stars, remaining in the faint stars of Aquarius from January 2023 through the end of this winter.
