On Sunday morning the last quarter moon appears nearest to Antares, the brightest star in the zodiacal constellation Scorpius. For those living in the Southeastern United States and to the west, the moon will occult, pass over the star. For us, the two are just really close. The event takes place around 2 a.m. Sunday morning.

Scorpius is a constellation we associate mostly with summer. The constellation is one of the southernmost zodiac constellations. We all have memories of standing out on a summer night and looking South and seeing these stars appear right over the ocean.

You can recreate that moment after midnight tomorrow night, when the moon and constellation rise in the southeastern sky. Antares will be so close to the moon, you'll benefit by using a pair of binoculars.

If you miss this event, you'll have another chance on the morning of March 30. But the two won't be so close.
