November Skywatch

As evening twilight fades on the 1st, the crescent Moon and brilliant Venus hover side by side, 10 degrees high in the southwest. Two nights later, on the 3rd, the Moon dangles beneath Jupiter. During the month's final 10 days, Venus approaches Jupiter and floats below it on the 29th and 30th. The Moon closes the month hanging below the planet pair; all three brightest nighttime objects gather in the deepening twilight. Mercury concludes its fine autumn apparition during the first four days of the month, now just 6 degrees high at magnitude -0.9, low in the east just before dawn. At midmonth, Saturn rises before 1:30 a.m.; it is halfway to the zenith at dawn, in the southeast.
