Today:
Tonight’s half Moon, or Last Quarter, rises in the east at midnight, pushed just ahead of the constellation Virgo. The Moon will ride across the southern sky during the predawn hours. Through mid-morning, it will remain visible in the west-southwest, before setting in the west at around noon tomorrow.

Monday:
The Summer Triangle has survived into Winter! Its three bright stars still offer an excellent view, one third to half way up in the west, with the star nearest the horizon being Altair, setting tonight at 8:00 PM EST, Vega much brighter, close to the same height but much farther right, and Deneb, fainter, and well above Vega.

Tuesday:
One of the outstandingly bright stars in the skies passes nearly overhead tonight. Capella is dazzling in the east-northeast, about half way from the horizon to the zenith at 6:30 PM. By 11:00 PM, the 4th brightest star we can see from the northern hemisphere is almost straight above.
