NASA's Next Mars Rover To Land At Gale Crater

Massive Meteorite Found in China

Hubble Telescope Spots Another Moon Around Pluto

The Night Sky Friday, July 22 · Last-quarter Moon tonight (exact at 1:02 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time Saturday morning). The Moon rises around the middle of the night with Jupiter below it. By dawn they're very high in the southeast. Saturday, July 23 · Look low in the south-southeast (depending on your latitude) for the Teapot pattern of Sagittarius. It's starting to tilt to the right — as if to pour out the rest of the summer from its spout. · This week, keep an eye out for occasional Southern Delta Aquarid meteors shooting away from the southeast late at night. Sunday, July 24 · Arcturus is the bright star shining high in the west-southwest at dusk, high above Saturn and Spica. Arcturus is a yellow-orange giant 37 light- years away and about 150 times as luminous as the Sun. Its pale ginger-ale color is plain to the unaided eye. Compare this to the icy blue-white of Vega overhead. Look far to the right of Arcturus, at roughly the same height, for the Big Dipper. Monday, July 25 · The Moon is near the Pleiades and Aldebaran before dawn this morning and Tuesday morning, as shown below.
