Astronomy Tonight: The Moon and Antares

Look for the moon to the south. The bright star Antares will be just to the upper left of the moon. The two will be about 1° apart. One degree is approximately the width of your little finger held at arm's length.

Antares is the brightest star in the constellation Scorpius. If you haven't learned how to recognize Scorpius, now is a good time with the moon to guide you.
