Today:
The Moon appears Full to the unaided eye, but it’s still 24 from the specifc moment of Full, when it is directly opposite the Sun. The Moon rises to one third of the way up and due east at 6:30 this evening, its light washing out the faint cluster of stars just to its left, the Seven Sisters, or the Pleiades. Well below them you’ll catch a view of a reddish star, Aldebaran, the prominent star in Taurus, the Bull. The Moon returns here for New Years Eve.
