Eye on the Night Sky
Friday, June 19, 2026
Today:
At dusk this evening, the Moon appears about a third of the way up in the west-southwest. As the Moon lowers toward the western horizon, a companion will emerge from the evening twilight at around 9:40. This is the star Regulus, the brightest in the constellation Leo. Looking farther toward the horizon in the west-northwest, the two align well with Venus, Jupiter, and Mercury.
