A Laguna Triangle

High above Laguna Beach last month hung bright celestial orbs. Visible after the California sunset were, from left to right, the Moon , Saturn , and Venus . Tonight and for the next few days, Venus and the Moon will again be visible together. Nearby stars will include Pollux, Castor , and Procyon . Venus now sets hours after the Sun and is so bright it might be mistaken for an airplane or UFO . Binoculars should enable the viewing of craters on the Moon, and phases for Venus .
