A "Golden Handle" effect is produced by the way slanted sunlight brightly illuminates the eastern side of the prominent Montes Jura mountain range that surrounds the bay on the top and left (north and west), and by a pair of protruding promontories named Heraclides and Laplace to the bottom and top, respectively. October 23 – EVENING – First Quarter Moon occurs at 9:23 a.m. EDT. In the morning it is the brightest object over in the western sky. A sky map is helpful. October 22 Be sure to click on the scene for a full image. Below, find out what's up in the night sky tonight (Planets Visible Now, Moon Phases, Observing Highlights This Month) plus other resources (Skywatching Terms, Night Sky Observing Tips and Further Reading). You can then jump from constellation to constellation, finding your way around the sky. Viewed in a telescope during October, Mercury will wane in illuminated phase, and the planet's apparent disk size will increase somewhat. During October, Saturn will diminish slightly in apparent size, and diminish from magnitude 0.47 to 0.58. Be sure to click on the scene for a full image. Looking east 1 hour before sunrise. Looking southeast an hour before sunrise. This makes it easier to pick out the brighter patterns in the real sky. The brightest objects get negative numbers. Degrees (measuring the sky): The sky is 360 degrees all the way around, which means roughly 180 degrees from horizon to horizon. Mars won’t appear better than this until 2035. Below is the northern half of the morning sky from the horizon to overhead, about an hour before sunrise mid-month. At approximately 10 p.m. EDT on Friday, October 23, the Lunar X is predicted to peak in intensity—but the phenomenon will be visible for approximately two hours on either side of that time. It will be 38.57 million miles, 62.07 million km, 0.515 Astronomical Units, or 3.45 light-minutes distant from Earth. 658 views The Earth is between the Moon and the Sun so we see the Moon fully lit. At sunrise on Saturday morning, Mars will sit three finger widths to the moon's lower right in the western sky – allowing you to find the magnitude -2.52 planet in the brightening western sky with binoculars. Jupiter will be moving eastward through the stars of northeastern Sagittarius—its faster orbital speed reducing its angular separation from slower-moving Saturn until they meet on December 21. At opposition, Mars will shine with a maximum visual magnitude of -2.62. Again, like the Summer Triangle the Great Square is not one of the official 88 constellations. During the week between closest approach and opposition, Mars' Earth-facing hemisphere will display the dark Syrtis Major Planum, Tyrrhena Terra, Cimmeria Terra, and Sirenum Terra regions, and the lighter toned Hellas Planitia region. Viewed in a telescope (inset) the planet will exhibit a waning, half-illuminated phase. Zenith: The point in the sky directly overhead. This is called a “conjunction.” Check them out in binoculars or a telescope. It appears half lit in the early morning sky; the lighted side always faces the Sun. The middle of the circular map (marked “zenith”) is the point directly over your head. October 6 See Eliot’s all-sky movie of this entire night of meteor-watching in 2017. The rupes, Latin for "cliff," is a north-south aligned fault scarp that extends for 65 miles (110 km) across the southeastern part of Mare Nubium, which sits in the lower third of the moon's Earth-facing hemisphere. When the waning crescent moon rises at about 1 a.m. local time on Sunday, October 11, it will be positioned four finger widths above (or 4 degrees to the celestial west) of the large open star cluster known as the Beehive or Messier 44, in Cancer.
