Today, the moon is in Sagittarius. That means it’s aligned with the Galactic Center. If you want to look at the Galactic Center, just look at the moon and you’ll be looking in the right direction. To see the moon, you’ll have to wake up early, because the moon isn’t visible until early in the morning around 5:00 a.m.
