Friday, December 26, the crescent moon appears really close to the bright planet Saturn. The two are in the zodiacal constellation Pisces. It is a stunning appearance. The two are only a few degrees apart. If you've never spotted Saturn before amid the stars of the night, here is your chance.
The moon will find the planet for you. The two are together. Look again Saturday night and the show continues. The moon, now in the first quarter, is farther east, however the sight is still worth noting.
The brightening moon will continue to dominate the evening sky in the week ahead, moving amid the constellations of winter.
