Today:
There might still be a hint of twilight along the west-northwest horizon by 9:30 this evening, as you look, about one quarter of the way above a low, level horizon, for a pair of stars. They rank among the brighter stars, and look so similar that you can see why they are “the Twins” – the twin stars of Gemini, representing the mythical twin brothers Pollux (on the left) and Castor (on the right).
