Harvest Moon

Venus will return to the morning sky, plus opportunities to see the zodiacal light and a Harvest Moon. ⁣
⁣
Venus will appear as a bright beacon in the morning sky. Look for the planet before sunrise in the eastern sky throughout this month. In the mornings before dawn, you’ll get a chance to search for zodiacal light, a cone-shaped pillar of light that extends upward from the horizon. Northern Hemisphere skywatchers should look in the east before twilight begins and in the Southern Hemisphere you can look in the west following evening twilight.⁣
⁣
You can also see Saturn and Jupiter, with Saturn low in the southeast after sunset and Jupiter appearing a few hours later. This month’s full moon on Sept. 29 is known as a Harvest Moon because it’ll be the closest full moon to the September equinox.
