Moon lights the way | Skywatch 16

Meteorologist John Hickey explains what folks can see in the night sky in the days to come in this Skywatch 16.

PENNSYLVANIA, USA — Much like a flashlight shines a light to lead the way at night, the moon will show us where some interesting stuff to see is in our night sky.

 For the next couple of mornings, it will be near Aldebaran and Betelgeuse. Aldebaran is the eye in the constellation Taurus the Bull.

 Leading into the weekend, the moon will pass near Castor and Pollox, the two brightest stars in the constellation Gemini. 

On Sunday night, we'll be at the peak of the Draconid meteor shower. 

The best viewing is between 8PM - 12 AM Sunday night. You could see a few 'shooting stars' if you sat outside for 45 minutes to an hour.
