You've got to get up early in the morning to see a thin crescent moon shining near the brilliant planet Venus. The two are together on Tuesday morning. Take another look for a third bright celestial object, the bright star Regulus. All three are in the zodiacal constellation Leo.
The moon gets closer to the morning eastern horizon for the next two days. The moon disappears and then crosses in front of the sun for an annular eclipse on Saturday, October 14.
Enjoy the morning sky in the week ahead if you want to see the moon. Tonight, the moon rises just before midnight. Tomorrow night, the moon rises after midnight. It is spending time in the zodiacal constellation Gemini a really late night constellation.
