Tonight's waxing #moon will lie near a pattern of stars - an asterism in the constellation #Leo the Lion - called the #Sickle. Notice the Sickle's shape, like a backwards question mark. And keep watching over the coming nights. By tomorrow night, the moon will have moved in its orbit around Earth. It'll have penetrated more deeply into Leo, turning full just as it arrives next to #Regulus, aka the Lion's Heart, on our sky's dome.
