Ice Giant Neptune's Fiery Glow

New Video Reveals Giant Asteroid Vesta as Seen by Spacecraft

The Night Sky Monday, Sept. 19 · Cygnus has a reputation for being poor in deep-sky objects despite its Milky Way richness. But maybe that's because you've never tried teasing out the Berkeley clusters at the center of the Northern Cross. See Sue French's Deep-Sky Wonders article, charts, and photos in the September Sky & Telescope, page 56. Plan your observing session for after dinnertime, when Cygnus is at its highest and the Moon isn't yet risen. Tuesday, Sept. 20 · Last-quarter Moon (exact at 9:39 a.m. EDT). The Moon rises around midnight daylight saving time, in the feet of Gemini left of Orion. Wednesday, Sept. 21 · Jupiter's moon Ganymede disappears into eclipse by Jupiter's shadow off the planet's western limb early Thursday morning around 3:30 a.m. EDT. Ganymede reappears out of eclipse closer to Jupiter's limb around 5:34 a.m. EDT. · Thursday, Sept. 22 · Before dawn tomorrow, look east and you can spot Mars upper left of the waning Moon, as shown here. Is this the first time you've seen Mars this year? Friday, Sept. 23 · The September equinox occurs at 5:05 a.m. EDT this morning, when the Sun crosses the equator heading south for the season. Fall begins in the Northern Hemisphere, spring in the Southern Hemisphere. · As summer turns to fall, the Sagittarius Teapot moves west of due south right after dark and tips steeply, as if pouring away the last of summer.
