Today:
The waning Gibbous Moon still appears Full to our human eyes, and gains a celestial companion this evening. The star Spica sits barely above the Moon as they rise near 8:30 this evening. Interestingly, the Moon’s orbit brings it by the same stars every 27 days and 8 hours, which means this pair has another rendezvous on April 29th.
