Crescent Moon near Spica Again (evening)
After a previous visit on July 3, the moon's trip around Earth will bring it back to shine near Virgo's brightest star Spica again on Wednesday evening, July 30. As darkness falls, look low in the western sky for bright, white
Spica twinkling several finger widths to the upper left (or celestial east) of the pretty crescent moon. Skywatchers located in more westerly time zones will see the moon closer to the star - clear evidence of our natural satellite's orbital motion.
