In this episode, Astronomy magazine Editor Emeritus Dave Eicher invites you to head out during the early morning hours of February 11 to see the Moon pass quite close to the 1st-magnitude star Antares in the constellation Scorpius the Scorpion. In the evening sky, Scorpius is a summer constellation. That’s why you have to view it in the early morning. Good luck!
