For those residing in the higher latitudes, you may be in for a treat this evening and tomorrow night with the auroras from a CME striking Earth's magnetic field.

Tonight you should be able to see the Moon, Mars, Saturn and Spica together.

Spica is a blue giant binary star and the brightest amongst the Virgo constellation.
