The Moon and Saturn

A bright trio can be seen tonight as Saturn, the Moon and Spica rise together after sunset. The three will be within 6° of each other. The Moon will be just short of full, over 99% illuminated as it rises. Saturn will be shining at 0.4 magnitude while Spica is very close to 1.0 magnitude.
