Stargazing with Tony Farley

The moon rises in the sky every day as it goes from a tiny crescent on April 7th to a quarter moon on April 12th. This episode shows where to look for the moon and why it grows and moves in our sky every night.

Tonight's sunset looks to be a great one. Watch the beautiful sunset and look for the thin Crescent Moon, showing only 1% of the side facing us illuminated. Look for the Earthshine, which is the sunlight that reflects off Earth and slightly illuminates the Moon. Look up to see Mars near the Pleiades and the almost straight up to find Gemini's Castor and Pollux.

How to find the summer triangle stars of Vega, Altair, and Deneb any morning around April 3rd. You can also find Sirius in the evening in the constellation of Canis Major
