Venus, Spica, and Moon pairings highlight early September night sky

This week, stargazers can observe Venus near the bright star Spica in the western evening sky shortly after sunset. As the week progresses, the waning moon will appear near the Pleiades star cluster and Mars in the early morning hours. The moon will reach its last quarter phase, offering darker skies ideal for viewing deep-sky objects like galaxies and nebulae. The constellation Aquarius, though faint, is highlighted for its importance as a reference region along the ecliptic. AI
