Jupiter - Already high in the sky as dusk turns to night off in the South and will probably be the first point of light you can see. It will set in the SW by 11:30pm at the beginning of the month. Throughout the month it’ll set earlier, by 10pm at the end. Saturn - Yet again, Saturn will trail behind Jupiter in the sky by about 30˚. It starts off in the SSE about 20˚ above the horizon, and second in brightness to Jupiter. Throughout each night it’ll move toward the South, then set in the SW by 2am at the beginning of the month. Throughout the month it’ll set earlier, by 11:30pm at the end.   We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs.
