During the evening of Sept. 26, you might want to invite your friends over for some space-gazing.
But on Tuesday, the moon will be situated to the lower right of Saturn.
If it is clear, that evening will be a great night to invite your friends and neighbors over to peer through your eyepiece at both Saturn and our nearest neighbor inlooks"flat" and one-dimensional, though its brilliance may dazzle the eye. But Tuesday’s moon won't be quite full, but rather 92 percent sunlit. It will also shine about half as bright as it would if full.
Then, check out the lower part of the lunar disk, which falls immediately along the terminator and you will see many craters casting shadows that make them dramatically stand out.After you are done showing off the moon to your friends, it will then be time to turn your telescope toward Saturn. Your clenched fist at arm’s length is equal to roughly 10 degrees — Saturn will be situated less than"half a fist" to the upper left of the moon.
