There's plenty to catch in the skies this month, including three planets, a Harvest Moon, and, if you're lucky, a zodiacal light.
Venus, for example, returns to the morning sky after brightening our evening skies for most of the year. Thanks to its thick clouds reflecting sunlight, Venus is the brightest planet in our solar system and is therefore easy to spot on a clear night.
Two more planets to spy in the sky are Saturn and Jupiter, which will be easy to observe in the evenings this month. You’ll see the fainter light of Saturn low in the southeast after sunset, while the much brighter Jupiter will rise a couple of hours later. Saturn sets a couple of hours before sunrise, with Jupiter easy to observe until the sun appears.
The end of this month will also see the fourth and final supermoon of the year, which are full moons that occur when the moon is near the closest point in its orbit around Earth. NASA also points out that this month could offer a chance to see the “zodiacal light,” described as “triangular or cone-shaped pillar of faint light that stretches upward from the horizon.”
