Crescent Moon Aligns with Gemini's Twins (pre-dawn)
On Friday morning, August 30, early risers can see the waning crescent moon forming a line below Gemini's two brightest stars in the eastern sky. Pollux, the lower star is brighter and more yellowish in color than its "twin", the double star Castor, above it. Even as the sky begins to brighten ahead of sunrise, the bright stars of winter will sparkle off to the right of Gemini
and the moon.
