A Big Waxing Moon!!

A bright, waxing gibbous moon will wash out the dim stars but highlight the bright stars (and planets) of the winter sky over the next couple of nights.
Jupiter and Venus close in on each other in the west and Mars is up earlier and earlier in the east.  Orion is centered in the south at sunset and the winter hexagon will be easy to follow enclosing the Hunter.
Hope for clear skies!!
