Mars: “Whaaaasupppppp”
Jupiter: “Wazzzzzuppp”
Moon: “Wasssssuuup”
Mars is visible this month high in the southern sky moving eastward; it is best seen in the early morning before sunrise. Later in the month, Mars will appear to form a triangle in the sky with the stars Aldebaran and Betelgeuse.
Jupiter is highly visible, as it is in opposition this month: on the 11th, you’ll see it hanging out with the Moon, making for a great viewing opportunity to observe them together through binoculars. Finally, Sept. 23 brings the equinox marking the start of fall in the Northern Hemisphere and spring in the Southern Hemisphere.
