5. The Night Sky Friday, November 1 Fomalhaut, the Autumn Star, shines at its highest in the south after dinner at this time of year. Fomalhaut is often called "lonely" because it's so far from any other 1st-magnitude star. It's near the bottom of the Great Water, the enormous expanse of autumn sky filled with dim water-themed constellations. Saturday, November 2 A partial eclipse of the Sun will be in progress as the Sun rises on Sunday morning for the Eastern Seaboard of North America and points inland. The partial eclipse happens in the daytime on Sunday for Africa, the Middle East, southernmost Europe, and elsewhere. The eclipse is total for a narrow track crossing the Atlantic and Equatorial Africa. See our article Partial Solar Eclipse Sunday Morning, Nov. 3. It includes links for local predictions.Partial Solar Eclipse Sunday Morning, Nov. 3 Daylight-saving time ends at 2 a.m. Sunday morning for most of North America. Clocks fall back an hour. When planning for the sunrise eclipse, be sure that your expected sunrise time andyour clocks are both in standard time! Sunday, November 3 See the item about today's solar eclipse above. Jupiter's moon Io casts its tiny shadow onto Jupiter tonight from 12:39 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time to 1:53 a.m. Eastern Standard Time. (A self-adjusting clock will make the switch at 2:00 a.m. your local daylight time.) Europa disappears into eclipse by Jupiter's shadow just west of the planet around 1:45 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time. New Moon (exact at 7:50 a.m. Eastern Standard Time). Monday, November 4 Look high in the northeast after dark for Cassiopeia standing on end. Before the Moon starts to brighten the evening sky in a few days, tour some of Cassiopeia's star clusters and nebulae; Sky & Telescope
