Eye on the Night Sky
Monday, March 09, 2026
Today:
By 2:30 AM tomorrow, a waning Gibbous Moon climbs into the southeast, and will spend the night seemingly towing a red star just behind it. This is Antares, the “heart” of the Scorpion. The pair slides low through the southern skies, cresting due south at 6:10 AM, only a quarter of the way above the horizon, as they fading into the morning twilight.
