Tonight you will be able to see the constellation Orion starting between 8-9 PM (Sky & Telescope). Orion will be visible in the East with the bright star Aldebaran located above it (Sky & Telescope). Even higher above Aldebaran is the Pleiades cluster, also known as the Seven Sisters (Sky & Telescope). Another bright star to look for is Capella which is located left of Aldebaran and the Pleiades (Sky & Telescope).
