As Mars retrogrades away from the 1st magnitude Regulus in Leo, it again helps point the way to 3 galaxies in the Lion constellation.  Faint and dim t be sure, but easier to find when a bright planet is nearby.  If that's a bit challenging, "arc to Arcturus" again as in the prior weeks, and then double-back to some double stars in Bootes.  Also this week: See Venus still near Alnath and Saturn is easy to spot near Spica.

See what's up in the night sky every week with "Eyes on the Sky," astronomy made easy.
