In the sky tonight
Saturn's Moons are Ringing
Only a few more days remain this year to see Saturn in the evening twilight. At 5:30 p.m., when the sky should be dark enough to see it, Saturn appears similar to a solitary, bright golden star low in the southwest sky.
A Wandering Martian
The orange planet Mars is in the faint constellation Aquarius the Water-Bearer. Directly below Mars and midway between the planet and the horizon, the bright star Fomalhaut, in the constellation Pisces Austrinus the Southern Fishes, glimmers with a blue-white hue.
