Eye on the Night Sky

Today:
Not only is Orion lowering into the west more and more with each passing evening, but the Milky Way is also dropping nearer the horizon. Its faint light makes it difficult to see near the horizon through the thicker part of the atmosphere, and it will remain obscure in the evenings until summer. For a summer preview, you can see the Milky Way rising in the wee hours of the morning, at around 2:30 AM.
