The Moon, Mars, and Saturn line up: This Week in Astronomy with Dave Eicher 6/3/2024

The waning Moon continues its journey through our skies this week, passing by a couple of bright planets: the red planet Mars and the ringed wonder Saturn. In the pre-dawn hours on June 4, look east and you’ll see a very slender crescent Moon - just 6 percent illuminated - with Mars and Saturn both glowing at around first magnitude. This pretty scene will make for a great wide-field photograph, and is ripe for further exploration with binoculars or a telescope.
