Aldebaran will be much fainter than the Moon and Venus, but they appear to be aligned in a triangle.

I take offense to the 'nerds' comment. I will be checking this out. if I remember.

The alignment will actually be off tonight compared to last night. However, the Moon and Venus will still be very close.

I started trying to think up a Death Star blowing up Aldebaran reference, but then realized it's Alderaan, not Aldebaran.

I lose at pop culture references.
