Saturn will be at opposition -- its closest approach to Earth. It will be brighter this week than any other time of the year and will be visible all night long. This is the best time to view and photograph Saturn and its moons. A medium-sized or larger telescope will allow you to see Saturn's rings and a few of its brightest moons.
Fun fact: Saturn's rings are relatively new. They coalesced around the same time that trees and sharks were making their first appearance on Earth some 400 million years ago.

09/17/2024Unlike the penumbral eclipse in March, this moon will pass through a section of the umbra -- the darkest part of Earth's shadow cast by the sun. Consequently, a portion of the moon's surface will be entirely hidden from view for observers in the Americas, Africa, and Europe.

09/17/2024The Farmer's Almanac described this as the Harvest Moon because it gave farmers several extra evenings of moonlight to allow them to finish their harvests before the frosts of fall arrived. Tender vegetables such as tomatoes, peppers, winter squash, and pumpkins must be picked before the first frost.
It is the Harvest Moon! On gilded vanes
And roofs of villages, on woodland crests
And their aerial neighborhoods of nests
Deserted, on the curtained window-panes
Of rooms where children sleep, on country lanes
And harvest-fields, its mystic splendor rests!
Gone are the birds that were our summer guests,
With the last sheaves return the laboring wains!
All things are symbols: the external shows
Of Nature have their image in the mind,
As flowers and fruits and falling of the leaves;
The song-birds leave us at the summer's close,
Only the empty nests are left behind,
And pipings of the quail among the sheaves.Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

09/22/2024The Sun will beam down directly on the equator giving us just about equal amounts of day and night in most parts of the world. North of the equator, this is your Autumnal Equinox. If you live south of the equator, this is your Spring Equinox.
Also, try balancing an egg on its end! Whether or not you succeed has nothing to do with the Equinox, but it's still a fun game to try on any day of the year. 🙂

09/23/2024 – 09/24/2024Libra (♎) is one of the twelve astrological signs in the Zodiac. It spans the 180-210th degree of the zodiac, between 180 and 207.25 degree of celestial longitude, which the Sun transits this area on average between (northern autumnal equinox) September 23 to October 22 each year.
In Sidereal astrology, the sun currently transits the constellation of Libra from October 16 to November 15 (approximately).(Air) ruled by Venus – Increases self-awareness, favors self-examination and interaction with others. Marriage, partnerships, legal matters, small animals. Peace, diplomacy, couple’s magick, artistic and spiritual work, karma and justice, unions, balance (spiritual and otherwise); healing of the lower back, adrenals, kidneys, venous system, lumbar nerves, skin.
While the moon is in Libra our minds turn to aesthetics and to balance. It is a good time for couple’s magick, and for all spells for peace and balance, or for the promotion of fairness and justice. Venus rules romance and this is a propitious transit for love magick. Spells requiring, or aligned with, diplomacy and adaptability also work well.

Let's find alien life in the waters of Jupiter's moon, Europa! No, really, let's have a look. NASA hasn't announced a date yet, but October 2024 is the speculative launch window for the Europa Clipper mission. The mission aims to analyze Europa's habitability by studying its ice shell, subsurface water, and ocean properties, assessing the ocean's habitability through its composition and chemistry, and examining surface features and areas of high scientific interest.
Here's a great book on the topic: ALIEN OCEANS: The search for life in the depths of space https://amzn.to/4b6erLz

10/02/2024Annular solar eclipses aren't so dramatic as total eclipses, but they're still worth pulling out your sun-filtering goggles so you can witness a ring of light around the darkened moon in midday. The Sun's corona will be fully hiden for those of you lurking in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of South America, parts of southern Chile, and Argentina.
