What’s Up in the Nights Sky March 31st 2015

The waxing gibbous Moon shines beneath Regulus and the Sickle of Leo early this evening, as shown at right. Farther upper right of the Moon shines bright Jupiter. By late evening, the sky rotates to place Jupiter to the Moon’s right.

The shadow of Callisto slowly crosses Jupiter’s face tonight from 11:14 p.m. to 3:57 a.m. EDT.
