Venus and Mars Rule the Evening Sky

Bright Venus continues to hang high in the west above Taurus' Aldebaran while reddish Mars is even higher in the southeast, still just below Leo's Regulus. Jupiter continues to fade lower each night in the western sky, losing its orbit race with the earth. Saturn rises just after sunset in the east, still outshining its neighbor Spica, alpha Virgo.
The waning gibbous moon makes for a bright midnight and early morning as it slides above Scorpio tonight and on toward the teapot of Sagittarius.
If the clouds stay away tonight get out and check out the setting constellation's of winter and the rising one's of spring.
