Moon Shines near Antares (pre-dawn)

In the southern sky on Thursday morning, March 20, early morning sky-watchers can see the bright, waning gibbous moon shining several fingers widths to the right of Antares, the bright, reddish star that marks the heart of the Scorpion. The duo will be cozy enough to share the view in binoculars (orange circle). Observers located in most of Australia, southern New Zealand, and westernmost Antarctica can watch the moon occult Antares with unaided eyes, binoculars, and telescopes. Use an app like Starry Night to look up the timings where you live.
