Dots display positions

of Galilean satellites at

11 P.M. EDT on the date

shown. South is at the

top to match

the view

through a

telescope.

To locate the Moon in the sky, draw a line from the phase shown for the day straight up to the curved blue line.

Note: Moons vary in size due to the distance from Earth and are shown at 0h Universal Time.
