(Continued from page 20)
• As seen from mid-northern latitudes, the moon, Jupiter and Taurus will sit low in the west after midnight. If you're a night owl, and see the moon and Jupiter sinking low in the west, turn around and look in the opposite direction to see Saturn, the sixth planet outward from the sun, close to the horizon. Saturn will reach its highest point in the sky around 5 a.m. local time tomorrow.
• Rising and setting times for the sun, moon and planets in your sky
• Bottom line: Two gas giant planets will be visible tonight (February 17, 2013). The moon and Jupiter are out from dusk until late night, and Saturn is visible from late night until dawn. As soon as darkness falls, look for the moon and Jupiter to adorn the evening sky! You can't miss them. They're the brightest objects up there.
