On Saturday night, July 5th, Saturn, Mars, Regulus and the crescent Moon lined up fetchingly across the western sky. Amateur astronomer Alan Friedman, on vacation at Mooselookmeguntic Lake in Maine, photographed the alignment and calls this shot Ducks in a Row:
Two days later, the Moon has moved on, exiting stage left, but the show is not over. Saturn and Mars are rapidly converging for their closest encounter of the next 14 years; on July 10th they'll be a scant 3/4o apart. Look west after sunset in the nights ahead to see the planets in motion.
