Moon and Saturn's Night Sky Encounter Tonight.

The moon and Saturn will make a close approach in the early morning sky on Saturday, June 10, with the pair separated by just under 3 degrees in the sky. Both bodies will be located in the constellation Aquarius. During the day on Friday, June 9, the 21-day-old moon and the gas giant planet will also share a right ascension in an arrangement astronomers call a conjunction. The two will be too widely separated to be viewed together with the narrow field of view of a telescope, but will be tight enough to be viewed together with binoculars.
