EVENING: The Moon rises in
southwest to see the first-quarter
Moon about 5° left or upper left of the
Scorpion's smoldering heart, Antares.
7 MORNING: High in the east, Mars
and Aldebaran form a pretty pair;
around 4° separates planet from star
(see page 46).
7 EVENING: The waxing gibbous
Moon gleams above the southern
horizon about 7° lower right of Saturn.
9 EVENING: The almost-full Moon
hangs nearly midway between Saturn
and Jupiter. Look toward the southeast
to admire this sight.
11 MORNING: It's Jupiter's turn for a
lunar visit. The Moon sits less than 5°
below the gas giant in the southwest.
14 EVENING: Algol shines at
minimum brightness for roughly two
hours centered at 9:42 p.m. PDT (see
page 50).
16 EVENING: The Moon, Mars,
Aldebaran, and the tip of the Bull's
western horn, Beta (β) Taurii (also
known as Elnath) are arranged
in a pleasing line above the eastnortheastern
horizon.
17 EVENING: Algol shines at
minimum brightness for roughly two
hours centered at 9:31 p.m. EDT.
20 DAWN: Look high in the east to see
the waning crescent Moon in Gemini,
less than 3° below Pollux.
21 DAWN: The Moon visits Cancer
and sits a bit more than 3° upper left of
the Beehive Cluster (M44).

the east-northeast, preceded by the
Pleiades and trailed by Mars. The
threesome form a pretty picture as
they rise higher in the sky.
23 DAWN: The thin lunar crescent
and Regulus rise in the east-northeast,
with 4½° separating the pair. Catch this
sight before sunup.
26 ALL NIGHT: Magnificent Jupiter
arrives at opposition (see page 48).
The gas giant is also at its closest to
Earth since October 1963, at a distance
of about 591 million kilometers (367
million miles).
30 DUSK: We conclude the month
with the Moon back in Scorpius - this
time it's around 1½° above Antares.
Follow the duo as they sink toward the
southwestern horizon.

Majestic Jupiter will be at opposition toward
the end of this month. This JunoCam image
from July 2019 shows White Spot Z, one
of several long-lived storms in the planet's
atmosphere.
