Three Planets and the Moon at Twilight

Jupiter, Saturn, Mars and the Moon are all visible almost immediately after sunset, be sure to check them out this weekend!

Several prominent autumn constellations are visible later into the evening, try your hand at locating Pegasus and Andromeda in the eastern sky, and later in the evening the famous Orion rises with his bow aiming directly upward. The Orion Nebula, which resides in the “sheath” hanging from the belt stars, is one of the most visually stunning objects in the entire sky, be sure to view it with a pair of binoculars if you have them!

Don’t forget to view Mars in the eastern sky after twilight, having just passed opposition it will remain prominent for the coming weeks and visible the rest of the year.
