Eye on the Night Sky

Today:
As has been shown in the past two nights’ entries, a look to the west-southwest at 9 PM reveals a whole host of bright objects, including the Moon, Jupiter, and 7 of the 12 brightest stars that shine within the northern celestial hemisphere. Turning around and facing east-northeast shows a much sparser picture, with the only representative of the top 12 brightest stars being Arcturus, low in the east.
