A Falcon nine rocket is heading to space. Tomorrow. SpaceX launches from Vandenberg Space Force Base, California, sending up the Starlink Internet Satellites mission. The booster will attempt to land back at Vandenburg two. Planets grace the evening tonight. Venus dazzles in the west just after sunset, while Mars glows orange higher in the sky. Both are visible for several hours.

No threat, just a cosmic passerby Leo. The Lion rises in the east tonight. Look for the distinctive backward question mark pattern. That's the lion's head and main regulus. A blue white star marks his heart. Aurora watchers heads up. Solar activity is elevated tonight, giving you a better than average chance of seeing the northern lights. Look north after nine. If you are in northern latitudes, even a faint green glow on the horizon counts.
