Dan's Starry Skies

Latest Update: October 25, 2009


The Moon near Jupiter on Sunday night, 10/25.
We have not had many starry skies lately, with rain and clouds dominating our weather. But the Moon sweeps past Jupiter this week--the image at left is for Sunday night, the 25th. For early risers, the dawn sky features Venus, Mercury and Saturn, shown below at 6:30 am.

Venus, Mercury and Saturn in the eastern sky pre-dawn.
