  5. The Night Sky Monday, August 12· During and after dusk, spot Saturn above the waxing crescent Moon in the southwest. Look lower right of the Moon for Spica. Much higher to their upper right shines Arcturus. Tuesday, August 13· The first-quarter Moon shines in the southwest at nightfall, with Saturn to its right and Antares farther to its left. Quite close to the Moon is Alpha Librae, a wide double star for binoculars. The Moon occults (covers) Alpha Librae for much of South America. Wednesday, August 14 · Look for orange Antares lower left of the Moon after dusk, with the other stars of upper Scorpius around it. Near the zenith shines the Summer Star, Vega. Thursday, August 15· Antares is lower right of the Moon this evening. Friday, August 16· By about 10 p.m. (depending on where you live), W-shaped Cassiopeia is now as high in the northeast as the Big Dipper is in the northwest. Cassiopeia will grow more ascendant over the Dipper in the evening for the next several months as the seasons turn. · Look below the Moon tonight and tomorrow night for the Sagittarius Teapot, as shown below.
