    The Moon Meets Antares

    Look up tonight to witness a beautiful celestial pairing — the crescent Moon will pass near Antares, the fiery red heart of the Scorpius constellation. Antares, a red supergiant star, will glow vividly just above the Moon, creating a stunning contrast in the night sky.

    Best viewed shortly after sunset in dark, clear skies — look toward the southern horizon.

    Best viewing time: 8:30 PM – 10:00 PM (local time)

    Did You Know?
    Antares is about 550 light-years away and nearly 700 times the size of our Sun. Its brilliant reddish hue makes it one of the most striking stars visible to the naked eye.

    Don’t miss this elegant meeting of Moon and star — a perfect night for skywatching or astrophotography!
