Today:
By 10 PM you can look high in the southern sky to identify the summer triangle. Also high, but in the northwest you’ll find Draco, the Dragon. His two eyes sparkle as modestly bright stars, then his neck drops down to the right of the Little Dipper, while his body curves up and around, becoming a tail between the Dippers.
Saturday:
Tomorrow morning, September begins in the brightening dawn’s light with a sliver of a Crescent Moon, low in the east-northeast from 5:10 to 5:25 AM. Mercury offers a brief display over the next several days, culminating with a conjunction with the star Regulus on the morning of the 9th.
Sunday:
Cassiopeia, the Queen, is a w-shaped constellation in the north-northeast this evening. The picture of the Queen is often one of her sitting on her throne, this time of year laying on its back with the legs toward your right.
