Eye on the Night Sky
Tuesday, April 07, 2026
Today:
Night owls can see the waning Gibbous Moon rise in the southeast at around 2:20 AM. As the moon then travels low in the southern sky, it will do so just ahead the constellation Sagittarius, to Moon’s left. Tomorrow night the Moon will rise about a half hour later, this time squarely within that part of Sagittarius known as the Teapot.
