Today:
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.
Tuesday:
Dark evenings tonight and tomorrow will offer a chance to see the Andromeda Galaxy, the most distant object human eyes can see. Look in the east-northeast for a slightly curved line of three stars, angled a bit up on the right end. From the middle star, go up to fainter stars, and then look for a faint puff of light. Binoculars will help.
Wednesday:
If starting with a glance to the northwest around sunset, the progression of the evening will feature Ursa Major, the Big Bear, appearing to dive toward the northern horizon, and then lifting back away form the horizon after midnight. It will circle around Ursa Minor, the Little Bear. In turn, Ursa Minor will circle around the star at its tail, The North Star, otherwise know as Polaris.
