Close approach of the moon to Antares

If you are up before the sun on the morning of 11 January, take a look eastwards and you'll see the moon very close to Antares the brightest star in the constellation of the Scorpion. If you have a pair of binoculars you may also be able to see M4 an open star cluster.
