Halfway There

Curiosity Investigates Petrified Martian Sand Dunes, Contemplates Next Drill Campaign

Fire in the Hole: Studying How Flames Grow in Space

The Night Sky Sky & Telescope Tuesday, September 15 As dusk turns to night, Arcturus twinkles due west. It's getting lower every week. Off to its right in the northwest, the Big Dipper is turning more and more level. Wednesday, September 16 Got light pollution? Cygnus overhead offers many sights for small telescopes regardless — if you can star-hop to them with a good finderscope. See Ken Hewitt-White's "Cygnus in the City" in the September Sky & Telescope, page 58, with chart and photos.Sky & Telescope Thursday, September 17 As twilight fades, look low in the southwest for the thin waxing crescent Moon off to the right of Saturn and Antares. The waxing Moon passes over Saturn and Scorpius this weekend. The blue 10° scale is about the size of your fist held out at arm's length. Friday, September 18 As twilight fades, look low in the southwest for Saturn close to the waxing crescent Moon, as shown here. To their left are Antares and other stars of upper Scorpius.
