Moons | Planets | Space Station Align Tonight May 16 2010

If skies are clear enough tonight, look low in the west after sunset for a pretty conjunction of a thin crescent moon, just a day past “new,” and the bright planet Venus. At 9 p.m., just below the zenith (straight up), high above the southwest horizon, is reddish Mars. And halfway between Mars and the southeast horizon you’ll find faintly yellow Saturn. The International Space Station will fly past all four a bit later. Look for it in the west at 9:34 p.m. EDT.
