Subj : Stargazing News - August 26th, 2025 To : All From : CJ Date : Mon Aug 25 2025 06:33 am Tuesday August 26, 2025 Young Moon meets Mars (after sunset) A short distance above the western horizon for an hour after sunset on Tuesday, August 26 in the Americas, the young crescent moon will shine almost a palm's width to the left (or 6 degrees to the celestial southeast) of Mars' reddish dot. Virgo's brightest star Spica will twinkle to the upper left of the duo. Observers in more westerly time zones on Earth will see the moon farther from Mars.
