Planet Watch -- September 2013
Mercury moves toward the east, out from behind the Sun and superior conjunction, into the evening skies this month however
its angle above the western horizon at sunset is very low and not easily visible from the northern hemisphere.
Venus is visible in the evening skies at sunset but due the angle of the ecliptic Venus stays somewhat low over the western horizon
for northern hemisphere observers this month.
Mars is becoming increasingly higher above the northeastern horizon at sunrise
and consequently is becoming more visible. Watch Mars as it moves eastward past M-44, the Behive Cluster, an open star cluster in the constellation
Cancer the Crab.
Jupiter rises after midnight local time and is high above the southeastern horizon at sunrise forming the point of a triangle with the
'Twin' Stars Pollux and Castor.
Saturn is visible over the southwestern horizon at sunset and sets a couple of hours after the Sun.
