DISPLAY IN THE NIGHT SKY THIS
WEEK. HERE'S THIS WEEK'S
WATCHING THE SKIES WITH EMILY
SCHUITEMA.
3
8:43:13THIS WEEK WE'LL BE
TREATED TO THE SIGHT OF THE
WAXING GIBBOUS MOON MOVING BY
THE TWO LARGEST PLANETS IN OUR
SOLAR SYSTEM. IF YOU WANT TO
HEAD OUT LOOK TO THE SOUTH AT
DUSK FIRST FIND THE MOON BC
THATS GOING TO BE THE EASTIEST
TO SEE. BUT THEN YOU'LL ALSO
BE ABLE TO PICK OUT JUPITER
AND SATURN. JUPITER WILL BE
BRIGHTER THAN SATURN. IT'S
ACTUALLY 8 TIMES BRIGHTER. AND
AGAIN IF YOU LOOK TO THE SOUTH
AT DUSK THAT'S WHERE YOU'LL BE
ABLE TO SEE THE THREE OF THEM
AND IT SHOULD BE A PRETTY
GREAT VIEW. AND IF YOU CANT
GET OUT TO CATCH THAT YOU'LL
BE ABLE TO SEE SEVERAL OTHER
PLANETS THIS WEEK. VENUS WILL
BE VERY EASY TO SPOT AGAIN
THAT'S THE THIRD BRIGHTEST
CELLESTIAL OBJECT IN THE NIGHT
SKY. SO THAT'S GOING TO RISE
IN THE EAST/NORTHEAST BEFORE
DAWN AND THEN BY DAWN ITS HIGH
IN THE SKY IN THE EAST. IF YOU
WANT TO PICK OUT THE
CONSTELLATION ORION. THAT
SHOULD BE VISIBLE JUST TO THE
RIGHT OF VENUS YOU'LL BE ABLE
TO SEE THAT AS WELL. MARS IS
VISIBLE TOO. THAT RISES IN THE
EAST AFTER TWILIGHT ITS HIGH
IN THE SOUTH BY DAWN. AND IF
WE KEEP WAITING A FEW MORE
MONTHS MARS IS JUST GOING TO
GET BRIGHTER. AND AS WE
MENTIONED JUPITER AND SATURN
ARE ALSO VISIBILE IN THE
SOUTH/SOUTHEAST AT TWILIGHT.
