Tour October’s Sky: Planets in Transition


Listen Later

Download our monthly astronomy podcast to track down Saturn in the evening sky one last time. Mars is still hanging around, and Venus is climbing higher each evening.
In this month's astronomy podcast, you'll scan the western horizon after sunset for not one but three major planets. Saturn will soon be bowing out, Mars is lingering low in the west, and Venus is climbing higher and becoming more apparent each week.
Meanwhile, over in the east, keep an eye out for a big square of four stars that mark the body of Pegasus, mythology's famous flying horse. But why is Pegasus flying upside down — and where's its back half?
Swing your gaze northward, and you'll find the Big Dipper low down and the stars of Cassiopeia high up. In between lies Polaris, the North Star.
For more skywatching tips for October — including how to spot Jupiter and Mercury paired closely together in the predawn sky — listen to or download our monthly astronomy podcast below.
