September Stargazing
What’s In It For You
Happy September, all! In three weeks, northern hemisphere seasons will change from summer to autumn, while southern hemisphere seasons move from winter to spring. Where I live, the weather is starting to feel distinctly fall-ish at night, and that means when I go check out the planets and stars, I need to start wearing more clothes to keep warm. It always seems a little strange to be viewing my favorite summer constellations while wearing a heavy jacket and hat, but that’s the nature of seasonal change and sky observing.
Before you head out to stargaze, check out the September edition of Our Night Sky, the short observing show I do for Astrocast.tv each month. This month we look at the planets Venus and Saturn low in the west after sunset. For early morning observers, we check out Mars and Jupiter. Then, we move on to some familiar constellations for each hemisphere, giving you a quick and panoramic view of “what’s up”. Finally, we chat a little bit about Nova Delphini 2013. It’s a nova, a term reserved for a star that flares suddenly in brightness. Astronomers think this one flared up after the buildup of gas from a smaller companion star got to be too much. The gas ignited, brightening the star tremendously in just a short time. It’s slowly fading out now, but you can still see it if you know where to look. So, check out the September edition of Our Night Sky and get out there under the starry skies! By the way, Our Night Sky is now available in Hindi! Many thanks to my colleague in astronomy popularization, Rimjhin Singh, for making this new edition possible!
