Today:
As the star Arcturus climbs to one third of the way above the eastern horizon at 11:00 PM this, look for another brilliant star to return to the skies, the bluish-white Vega, just rising in the north-northeast. Vega appears on any clear night of the year, but shifts into evening skies in the Spring.
