In Vineyard Skies
A planetary lineup takes place right after sunset later this month.
Venus has staged a comeback. The brightest planet in our night skies appears low in the southwestern sky, close to the horizon, just after sunset.
The Moon and Saturn appear as a pair low in the eastern sky after sunset tonight. The two are in the zodiacal constellation Libra.
The Lyrid Meteor Shower will reach its peak in the early hours of Monday morning.
The planets Venus and Mars, once the brightest planets in our night sky, have disappeared from view.
A thin crescent moon rises early in the morning tomorrow. The moon is in the zodiacal constellation Aquarius, a constellation we normally associate with autumn and late summer. It appears Sunday and Monday mornings, but even closer to the eastern horizon.
