Watch Taurus' Orange 'Eye' Disappear from Tonight's Sky

A stellar eclipse will be visible from almost all of the United States tonight (Jan. 19), when a bright waxing gibbous moon passes in front of the star that marks the angry orange eye of Taurus, the bull. The eclipsed star is Aldebaran, the 13th brightest in the sky and certainly a colorful one. A waxing moon always leads with its dark edge as it moves along its orbit against the starry background.
