OK, because someone will ask...
Tonight will bring "one of the final celestial alignments of 2024 as the moon shines directly between Jupiter and Mars in the eastern sky — an event that is easy to see for stargazers of all ages," per AccuWeather. (As long as it's not cloudy — and it is not.)
Back to AccuWeather:
Jupiter and the moon will become visible shortly after nightfall, but the entire show won't be observable until after 10 p.m. local time, once Mars rises above the horizon. After that, the trio will be visible for the rest of the night, provided the sky remains cloud-free.
