Tonight at 8 pm, the waxing gibbous moon will be visible in the constellation of Leo the Lion. The moon is near a group of stars that look like a large, backwards question mark. This question mark shape marks the head and mane of Leo. The bright star at the end of the question mark and just “below” the moon is called Regulus.
