end of june sky 2008

starting tomorrow evening, look to the west after sunset to saturn, mars and the star regulus lining up near leo.


mars continues to creep closer to regulus, culminating in a near overlap of the two on sunday night! mars and regulus will be less than a degree apart in the sky. if you hold your arm out, pointing your finger to the sky, mars and regulus will be closer together than your index finger is wide! mars and saturn will be about 5 degrees apart in the sky on sunday!
