Planet Watch -- October 2014
Mercury moves into inferior conjunction by the 16th and will not start becoming visible again until the end of the
month as a 'morning star', rising ahead of the Sun.
Venus moves closer to the Sun and is becoming increasingly challenging to see before sunrise.
Venus moves into superior conjunction, behind the Sun, on the 25th. Venus will reappear as an 'evening star' later this year.
Mars stays visible in the evening skies over the southwestern horizon but is gradually setting earlier each evening
and is lower above the horizon at sunset as the month progresses. Watch for Mars to be less than 0.5o from the beautiful Lagoon Nebula
on the 27th.
Jupiter rises after midnight local time and is visible in the pre-dawn morning skies throughout the month.
Saturn is low above the western horizon at sunset and by the end of the month will be too close to the sun to be
seen as it moves into superior conjunction next month.
