Brilliant morning planet reaching peak altitude under darker skies at the end of August. Venus is at inferior conjunction on 13 August 2023, when it will pass 7.7o to the south of the Sun. Only attempt to view this if you’re experienced. Credit: Pete Lawrence
Wait 20-30 minutes without looking at any artificial light (streetlights, your smartphone etc.) and you'll see so much more. December 7. Venus will be visible throughout the month of December and will take on a crescent phase, becoming progressively larger and thinner. A: Scientists believe that Humans could survive on Mars for many reasons. Here are the main reasons why Mars is the most habitable planet:Your telescope probably comes with some sort of finderscope, which helps you locate specific objects in the night sky. Finally, Venus appears to have phases like the Moon. Once you find it, you can take note of the planet’s current phase. Mars Yes, and that’s the point. The night of a New Moon (or the nights just before/after) is an excellent time to try observing dim, deep-sky objects such as star clusters and galaxies.
One of the best planets to see tonight. A brilliant planet for evening viewing. Venus is near Mercury on 1 January and Saturn on 22 January. Best at the end of the month. Well positioned evening planet, which is low in the west as twilight darkens. Mars is near Venus at the start of July. The geometry continues in this area of the sky, the faint Circlet asterism lying south of the Great Square. Named for the god of fertility in the Rapanui mythology of the Easter Islands, the dwarf planet Makemake is one of the many interesting not-quite-planetary objects in our solar system. Even better, the annual best night to see Makemake occurs early in the year. If you’re having trouble with your finderscope, there are numerous video tutorials available to help you troubleshoot. Or, if you belong to an astronomy club, you can ask for help from more experienced members. Useful resourcesSo when you do find the time, you'll need to know what's visible in the night sky tonight, and the best things to look out for when stargazing. Ganymede and its shadow transit Jupiter’s southern polar region between 23:58 UT tonight and 03:50 UT on 25 November.
What should you look for? What do you want to see? What is even visible, given the technology you have, the weather, and the time of year. Which brings us to… The moon's next visit with a planet will be on Tuesday evening, Nov. 21. Tonight, the 67%-illuminated, waxing gibbous moon will shine a palm's width to the lower right of distant blue Neptune. (Image credit: Chris Vaughan/Starry Night)

In our guide, we useUniversal Time (UT) and British Summer Time (BST). UT is the standard time used by astronomers around the world. BST is one hour ahead of UT After opposition on 3 November, this evening Io appears to transit Jupiter from 22:21 UT, just ahead of its shadow. May 5 and 6, prenumbral lunar eclipse: This eclipse will be visible in Europe, Asia, Australia, and Africa.
You might have already heard about the mouthful-of-a-name Comet C/2022 E3 (ZTF), which has been making headlines for the incredible imagery some astrophotographers have captured –as well as the chance for all of us to spot it in the sky (and potentially with the unaided eye!).Note that the relative positions of the Moon and Saturn, as well as the precise timing of this occurrence, will depend somewhat on your own location on Earth. Uranus Low evening planet, which is best at the start of June when crossing M44, the Beehive Cluster. But the view is compromised by twilight. The northeastern sky on November evenings hosts the bright constellations of Perseus and W-shaped Cassiopeia, with the very bright star Capella positioned below them. You can locate Mars by researching where it is located in relation to constellations. Use a star chart to orient yourself in the night sky, learn where constellations are, and use them as landmarks to find Mars.
