Starwatch: Saturn draws close to the Moon in the southern sky


From midweek onwards, look out for the Moon and Saturn drawing ever closer in the low southern night sky. The Moon will be a few days past full and clearly in its waning gibbous phase. This week is also good for seeing the four brightest objects in the sky. The third and fourth brightest should present little problem either so long as you have a clear horizon. Just after sunset look west to see the brilliant “evening star” of Venus, this is the third brightest object in the sky.
