Scope on the Skies

Throughout each month, the Moon appears in conjunction with planets and stars along the ecliptic. A conjunction occurs when, in this case, the Moon lies in the same direction as a star or planet. From our perspective, the object looks close. February is no exception, and there will be several opportunities on both sides of the Sun to locate planets or bright stars with the assistance of the Moon (as the Moon is easy to locate). This brief article presents information on the following related topics: West of the Sun (before sunrise); East of the Sun (after sunset); Tracking the sun; and Moon phases--February. A brief list of Internet resources is also included.
