Skywatch: Last quarter moon makes way for planet watching

This week's night sky starts with a view of the moon as it reaches last quarter.
Each month the moon waxes and wanes, and early in the week it'll appear as a half moon high in the heavens.
The last quarter moon will officially occur at 3:33 a.m. on Monday, Nov. 21. But, it'll appear as a half moon Sunday night into Monday morning so you don't have to get up in the wee hours of the day to enjoy the show.Look for a planetary triangle on Wednesday night formed by Venus, Mercury and Saturn.
