Today:
Just before 11 o’clock this evening, the red star Antares will rise in the southeast, remaining low as moves toward the right. About 15 minutes later, the waning gibbous moon will follow the same trajectory. The pair will crest low in the south near 3 o’clock, lowering into the south-southwest just before dawn.
