Look to the eastern horizon just after sunset on Sept. 8 to see the ringed gas giant Saturn shine close to the bright disk of the waning gibbous moon.
Saturn will rise less than 5 degrees to the right of the 96%-lit lunar disk as the sun sets on Sept. 8, below the stars representing the head of the great western fish in the constellation Pisces. Remember: the width of your three middle fingers held at arm's length accounts for roughly 5 degrees in the night sky!
