The New Moon occurs today at 3:54 pm local time. The next New Moon will be Tsagaan Sar. Tonight will be a great night for viewing the Heavens, as there is no moonlight to dilute the view. Venus, of course, continues to present a fantastic spectacle in the southwest sky—clearly visible before any other heavenly bodies appear—and to the southwest Orion is putting on quite a show. Indeed the rest of the week is looking good, with the Waxing Crescent Moon swinging by Venus as the days progress. Don't miss this wonderful opportunity to view the Heavens!
