Eye on the Night Sky
Friday, February 27, 2026
Today:
The waxing gibbous Moon, two days shy of full, will be due east at 5:15, just prior to sunset. As night falls, the Moon will become clustered with a handful of other bright objects. Jupiter, still nestled between the Geminin Twins, will appear above the Moon and to its right. Pollux and Castor, the respective heads of the Twins, will emerge above the Moon and slightly to its left. A bit farther afield is the star Procyon, below the Moon and to its right.
