Last night the moon was just to the right of the celestial pair of Saturn and Spica. In the photo, Saturn is to the moon's upper left and Spica is to the moon's left. The moon tonight will be on the opposite side of Spica and Saturn. Look after 9:30 p.m.
A bonus body is Mars which is currently found to the far right of the moon, Spica and Saturn. In the photo it shines to the left of the tall tree. During the next seven weeks, Mars heads towards Saturn and Spica, sliding between them in mid-August.
Such is our view from Earth...
