It's not often we have distinct planetary motions so easy to observe: Note Mars' motion compared to the crawl-like pace of Saturn this week.  The Moon makes for a speedy companion past these two planets this week as well, and lunar features are some of the best to spot with a small telescope.  Find out what you can find and see on the lunar surface with easily identified features highlighted.  And lastly, don't miss the speedy Venus trekking up the horn of Taurus while Jupiter hangs out in the Hyades.  See what's up in the night sky every week with "Eyes on the Sky," astronomy made easy.
