Today:
High in the southeastern sky by 6:30 PM, you can view the First Quarter Moon. Along the Ecliptic and well to the Moon’s left is the brilliant Jupiter. Well to Moon’s right, barely above the western horizon, comes fleeting view of Mercury, which will set before 7:00 PM. On the heels of Mercury will be Saturn, to Mercury’s left, itself to set by 7:45 PM.
