Last month (17 June 2007) I noticed three very bright objects in the sky lined up with the Moon and wondered if they were stars or planets or something else. I found out they were Venus, Saturn, and Regulus. The next night (June 18) the Moon hopped over Venus, then (June 19) over Saturn, and finally (June 20) the Moon passed Regulus.
You can see what is in the sky tonight at the space.com virtual planetarium.
You can see what I saw by setting the date to 17 June 2007 and looking West.
Isn't that cool?!
