Today:
The Moon is Full each month as it reaches a position exactly opposite the Sun, so tonight’s Full “Harvest” Moon rises as the Sun sets, and then sets as the Sun rises tomorrow morning. The Moon’s light extended the hours of harvesting, often through the night when necessary, hence its name. This timing can vary due to the Moon’s tilted orbit, about 5 degrees compared to the Earth’s orbit around the Sun.
Wednesday:
It’s a challenge, but if you have an unobscured and flat horizon at sunset – between about 8:15 and 8:30 – you might be able to spot the planet Venus, just south of due west, and within the constellation Virgo. Venus will dip below the horizon by around 8:45.
Thursday:
Saturn will rise in the east-southeast at around 7:45 PM. An hour later, in the east-northeast waning Gibbous Moon will rise, making an appearance between the between the fishes of Pisces. The moon within Pisces follows Saturn high across the southern sky. Saturn will set in the west just before dawn, the moon not setting until around 10 AM tomorrow.
