    Bright Moon Shines above Saturn and Neptune (overnight)

    A short time after the bright, waning gibbous moon clears the treetops in the east around midnight on Tuesday evening, July 15, the prominent, yellowish dot of Saturn will climb to join it - close enough to the moon for them to share the view in binoculars. The very faint blue planet Neptune will be positioned just a finger's width above Saturn, but a telescope will be required to see it well. The trio will cross the sky together and shine about halfway up the southern sky as dawn breaks on Wednesday morning.
