Eye on the Night Sky
Wednesday, February 11, 2026
Today:
Night owls can catch a view of the fickle Moon, as it temporarily accompanies its next stellar companion. In the southeast at around 2:50 AM, the red-orange star Antares will emerge, as part of its parent constellation Scorpius. Ten minutes later the waning Crescent Moon will rise on the heels of Antares. Much as happened with Spica a few nights ago, the Moon and Antares will traverse the southern sky, and the Moon will lose its companion in the glare of the gathering dawn.
