  5. The Night Sky Monday, July 23· As twilight behind to fade, use the Moon in the west-southwest to guide your way to Saturn, Spica, and Mars glimmering through the dusk (in that order of visibility) as shown above. Tues. July 24 · The waxing Moon this evening forms a quadrangle with Saturn, Spica, and Mars. Wed. July 25· The first-quarter Moon is left of Spica and Saturn this evening, as shown above. Thurs. July 26· By 10 or 11 p.m. the Great Square of Pegasus is up in the east, balancing one one corner — an early warning of the inevitable approach of fall. Friday, July 27· Look left of the Moon (by a fist-width at arm's length or more) for orange Antares. Much closer left of the Moon are the three lesser stars that mark the head of Scorpius, lined up about vertically.
