Today:
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.
Monday:
Low in the south as darkness is complete near 8:45 PM, sits the constellation Sagittarius, the Centaur, and more specifically, within this pattern, a figure known as the “teapot”. Its triangular lid sits atop the teapot, with a handle on the left, and a spout on the right hand side, perhaps pouring on the tail of the Scorpion.
