Tomorrow our moon will reach apogee; the farthest distance away in its elliptical orbit around the earth. It will be a distant 252,470 away.
If you are an early riser beginning tomorrow and Monday you will be able to spot the moon near Regulus and Leo.
A waning gibbous moon will be located adjacent to Regulus, the star anchoring the asterism that looks like a backward question mark called the Sickle. Regulus is the brightest star in the constellation Leo (the Lion) and can be spotted above the western horizon before sunrise.
