September Stargazing- Fall Nights Sure To Bring Gorgeous Views Of Space

FOR THE LOVE OF STARGAZING AND PLANET SPOTTING

If you love stargazing, September is going to be a great month to do it. Not only will you have stars to see, but planets and their moons as well.

Growing up in rural Princeton, an area where I could see the Milky Way every evening, I was spoiled with the opportunity to stare up at the sky night after night and admire the beauty that is space.

My brother was more into it than I was: I just loved staring at the stars; he dug into figuring out what celestial objects he was looking at; whether it be actual stars, moons, planets, or amazing constellations and formations.

Whether you are looking for the Big Dipper or possibly to see the planets and their moons, now is the time to get a Star Map, a telescope, and maybe even download a stargazing App to discover and learn more about the universe.

TITAN VISIBLE IN SEPTEMBER

Titan is the largest moon that orbits Saturn, and scientists think that this moon might even have the potential for life. Titan is 900 million miles away but even with a 4-inch telescope, it should be visible if you are stargazing from a dark, remote location.

SEE JUPITERS MOONS

Ganymede, Callisto, Lo, and Europa will be visible. You should be able to see these moons even without a telescope if you have binoculars.
