See it! Last night's moon and Venus

The returning moon and brightest planet were near each other in the west after sunset, the last 2 evenings. Don't miss these gorgeous photos from the EarthSky community.

Tonight and tomorrow … Moon and Gemini stars

Keep watching the moon after sunset! It'll help you identify Gemini's 2 brightest stars - Castor and Pollux.

You can’t walk on these cloud streets

Cool images of long rows of cumulus clouds, oriented parallel to the wind direction.

Tonight and tomorrow … Moon and Gemini stars

Both Castor and Pollux are bright stars, and they’ve been known as Twins for centuries at least. But they don’t really look alike. Pollux is golden in color, and Castor is pure white.
