Saturn and the Moon in Conjunction
On July 7, 2014, Saturn and the waxing gibbous Moon came within 1º visibly of each other making for a fabulous conjunction. We often see conjunctions of the Moon with planets because both planets and the Moon cross the night sky at different rates due to their orbits and Earth's orbit. -Scott
