The Moon and Saturn

Saturn, the Moon and Spica will rise together in the east after sunset this evening. The three will be within 10° of each other. The Moon will be just short of full, over 94% illuminated as it rises. Saturn will be shining at 0.4 magnitude while Spica is very close to 1.0 magnitude.

Tomorrow night will see the Moon east of Saturn, but still close, just over 10°.
