First Quarter Moon

This week a thin crescent moon will appear low in our southwestern sky.

Spring Is a Month Away

Late Wednesday night the planet Mars and the gibbous moon appear together as a close pair. The two rise in the southeast a few hours after sunset.

On Monday night the gibbous moon appears near the bright planet Jupiter. They are in the zodiacal constellation Gemini. You'll see the two high in the eastern sky after sunset.

Tonight it may be possible to see the thin crescent moon appear near the distant planet Mercury.
