Eye on the Night Sky
Thursday, April 18, 2024
Today:
As the last of the twilight fades after 8:45, look high into the southwestern skies, where the celestial Lion, Leo, appears to be sitting on the waxing Gibbous Moon, progressing to due south, about two thirds of the way above the horizon, at 10 o’clock. Leo’s brightest star, Regulus is well to the right of the Moon tonight, subdued by the moonlight.
