Astronomy Tonight: The Moon Between Sagittarius and Scorpius

Look to the south for the moon. It has now moved between the constellations Sagittarius and Scorpius.

This is a perfect time to learn how to recognize the two constellations. Sagittarius to the left of the moon looks like a teapot, and Scorpius to the right looks like a giant letter J. Also note bright Jupiter to the left of Sagittarius.
