What constellation is the moon in right now if i am in texas?

I could say Capricornus, but that doesn't mean much. The Moon moves pretty fast. And tomorrow it might be elsewhere.



There is a little bit of parallax for the Moon - so it shifts a little depending on where you are on the Earth. But Texas vs Michigan isn't likely to make it change constellations.



Go to http://heavens-above.com/ - register, it's free, set your observing location, go to the Moon link, it says what constellation the Moon is in.



The whole sky chart will show you the Moon if it's up for the time you ask for. You can go to the Moon page and find when the Moon rises and sets, and pick a good time in between for the whole sky chart to show where the Moon is.What constellation is the moon in right now if i am in texas?Ok, first off, constellations will not change their shapes in your lifetime, so a constellation in Texas is the same constellation in Florida. The only difference is the "positioning" of the constellation in the skys. Finally, constellations are made of stars. The moon is not a star, so it is not part of any constellation. Moons and comets and planets move differently in the sky than stars do. So the answer is NONE.What constellation is the moon in right now if i am in texas?The Moon is in Capricornus for everyone on the planet Earth.
