Welcome to Observing With Webb, where the armchair astronomer figures out what they’re looking at, why it’s so cool, and what they should check out next.

This year, October brings us good views of Venus, Saturn, Mars, and Jupiter, the Orionid Meteor Shower, and night launch visible on the eastern seaboard.

Venus – Look SW after sunset, and Venus will be only about 10˚ above the horizon, but very bright, and will set around 7:30.

Mars – Look S after sunset and bring a sky map of Sagittarius.  Mars will be the ruddy red object moving through the left hand side of the Sagittarius “teapot”.  Visible until about 10:30pm, when it sets in the SW.

Saturn – Look SW after sunset.  Saturn will be between Mars and Venus throughout the month, getting closer to Venus until the 28th when they cross paths.  Saturn will set at 9:30pm in the beginning of the month and 7:30 at the end of the month.

One of the most dangerous things that can happen inside a spacecraft is fire. Seriously, it's NASA's worst nightmare, and for good reason. Fire acts differently in space, and astronauts are always on alert. Here's why.
