The full moon, the Snow Moon, takes charge of the night sky on Sunday night.
The time is right to look at the best constellations of winter. The constellation Orion, the hunter, hangs in the southern sky.
The bright planet Venus is now high in the southwestern sky after sunset and can be spotted by just about anyone with some kind of view of the night sky.
The red planet Mars, missing for much of the last months of 2019, is now easily visible, far enough away from the brilliant sun.
Tonight’s full moon, the Ice Moon, appears in the zodiacal constellation Gemini.
One of the bright stars in our winter sky has faded plenty in the last couple of weeks.
