Today:
Prowling the heavens high in the southwest this evening starting near 9:30 PM, you’ll find Leo, the Lion. Leo is one of the horoscope signs, its traditional dates of late July into the third week of August marking when the sun was against the background of these stars 3000 years ago. This now happens one month later.
Saturday:
Near their earlier rendezvous point on May 3rd, Mars and the Moon again appear close together in the western sky this evening, in between Cancer and Leo. The Moon is a little closer to Cancer, and Mars to Leo. They will then sink into the west-northwest, reaching the horizon at about 12:45 AM.
Sunday:
June arrives with the departure of Jupiter in the west-northwest, emerging from the twilight near 9 o’clock, only about one hand-width above a low and level view of the western horizon. Lost in the Sun’s glare by next week, you won’t see it “hand the baton” to the planet Mercury, offering a modest display, low in the west, during the middle of this month.
