It amazes me how fast some planets can move on a daily basis, compared to the stellar background. Indeed, Mars is only about two full moon diameters away from Regulus this morning. It will pull away after today. Get out and take a look around 6:30 AM for the next few mornings. With Jupiter on the bottom, and Venus at the top, this is a visually pleasing lineup. Normally considered one of the brightest stars, Regulus pales with Jupiter and Venus close-by. On Tue, Sep 22, 2015 at 6:34 AM, Chuck Hards <chuck.hards@gmail.com> wrote:
Wow, Mars is moving fast, you're right Linton. The relationship with Regulus has already changed noticeably from yesterday.

Indeed, Chuck. Nice. I'm cheating though... looking out the window in my loft. Mars is supposed to move to within 1 degree of Regulus Thursday and Friday. Linton
