venus

Venus will be rising at 3:20 am - long before the sun, which is interesting because Venus is usually seen just before or just after sunset.


After Venus, Saturn will be rising, and between them Regulus, one of the brightest stars in the sky.

On October 14th, Venus passes to the south of Saturn.

So there's a lot to look forward to this weekend.

A good pair of binoculars are, of course, essential for any star-gazing trip.
