Eye on the Night Sky
Tuesday, March 11, 2025
Today:
The nearly Full Moon rises out of the early evening dusk at around 5:45 PM. Rising with it, but not emerging, until about an hour later, is the constellation Leo, which appears just above the Moon. Of the stars in Leo, the one closest to the Moon is the Regulus, Leo’s brightest. The Moon and Leo will ride across the southern sky overnight, before setting in the morning twilight, as around 6:30.
