Today:
The Full “Cold” Moon rises well to the north of east, and rides a very high path across the skies, located near where the summer sun is found. All Full Moons are opposite the Sun’s location, thus the reverse is true in summer, with the Moon traveling low across the southern skies – the winter Sun’s path.
Friday:
This evening, the Moon rises in the east-northeast, appearing just above the feet of the Gemini Twins, which are oriented horizontally. Farther toward the north, and closer to the heads of the Twins, appears Jupiter, presently the brightest object in the night sky, apart from the Moon.
Saturday:
Gemini appears rather crowded tonight as it climbs into the northeast, challenging to imagine with the waning Gibbous Moon right in the middle of the constellation, to the right of the Twin stars. Below the Moon, and the Twins, Jupiter remains undaunted by the moonlight. Perhaps that’s because Jupiter has over 90 moons itself!
