The next several mornings the crescent Moon can be seen near several bright stars (Sky & Telescope). You can see the Moon near the two brightest stars in the constellation Gemini, Pollux and Castor (Sky & Telescope). The bright star Procyon will also be visible and Venus can be seen lower in the sky (Sky & Telescope). You will want to look East in order to check out these sights in the sky (Sky & Telescope).

Tonight is a great time to try and catch a glimpse of the Milky Way (Sky & Telescope). The sky will be moonless the next few nights so the stars that make up the Milky Way should be easier to see (Sky & Telescope).
