August 29 2020 Night Sky

The moon, jupiter and saturn will be in alignment tonight.

You can see Jupiter, Saturn and the moon align in the sky tonight — all without a telescope

Stargazers late Friday night into Saturday can see Jupiter, Saturn and the moon all align to form a triangle. And the best part is you don’t need a telescope!

Yahoo is terrible for posting old news. Still, if they were visible last night why wouldn't they be tonight? I will look.

That's a good question for the scientific geniuses on the forum. I don't know why but sometimes things like that are only one night.

Jupiter and Saturn should be in almost the same position. The moon moves much quicker relative to us. It should still be close to aligned at some point, the moon does traverse the entire sky from moonrise to moonset. Tonight moonrise is 6PM and moonset is about 3:30
