Today:
The Full “Flower” Moon rises as the sun sets, climbing a bit higher and due southeast as darkness settles in by 9 o’clock or so, edging into the constellation Libra. Later this evening, after 11 o’clock, cast your gaze farther to the left, where you can identify the bright star Antares, with which the Moon will rendezvous on the evening of the 13th.
Monday:
While the King and the Queen, Cepheus and Cassiopeia languish near the northern horizon, Draco, the Dragon has slithered higher into the northeast. Though his stars aren’t overly bright, look for his tail starting between the Big and Little Dippers, then curving around the Little Dipper to the right and down, becoming the Dragon’s body, curving back to the right with his neck, topped off by his head.
Tuesday:
The still nearly-full Moon appears low in the southeast as the Sun sets, near its lowest position in the skies. Through the evening, it rides low over the southern horizon, joined about an hour later by the red star Antares, the “heart” the Scorpion, remaining even lower than the Moon as they slide past due south after midnight. The Moon is extremely close to Antares Thursday night.
