On Sunday night after sunset the crescent moon appears due south. It is next to the bright planet Saturn. Both are in proximity to the constellation Sagittarius, the southern-most constellation in the zodiac. The moon and Saturn are so close.

If you’ve ever needed someone to show you where Saturn resides, or if you ever get confused about picking the planets from the stars, the moon is your friend on Sunday night.

Look again on Wednesday and Thursday nights and you’ll see the gibbous moon higher in the sky and close to the bright red planet Mars in the south southeast. The two are in the zodiacal constellation Capricornus.
