Eye on the Night Sky
Sunday, May 12, 2024
Today:
A waxing Crescent Moon slides just to the lower right of a pair of conspicuously bright stars, almost half way up, and due west at 9 o’clock or so this evening. These are the “twins” of Gemini, the horoscope or zodiac constellation from late May through the Summer Solstice. While bright, the stars are not identical, with Pollux, on the left, brighter than Castor on the right.
