Early this morning, just before sunrise, the Moon passed by Saturn in the sky. If you missed seeing this pair, watch the sky tomorrow morning and it will be possible to see the Moon very near the planet Mars. Since the Moon is much closer to Earth than the planets, it appears to move more quickly through our sky.
