What's Up: September 2023 Skywatching Tips from NASA

What are some skywatching highlights in September 2023?
Venus returns to the early morning skies as a bright beacon in the east. The full moon at the end of the month is known as the Harvest Moon. And if you have access to dark skies away from urban light pollution, you might be able to glimpse the faint, glowing pillar of the zodiacal light.

The Zodiacal Light - great name for an obscure, psychedelic band from the 1960s. Heavy, man. Trippy. 🌈

Jupiter and Saturn are no longer align like they did during the Great Conjunction... and that was in 2020. It's been almost 3 years already! I'm getting old.

[@RoadTo2024SolarEclipse]

I actually remember that Conjuction as well! Brings back memories without a doubt!
