For this week…
Neptune will be at its closest approach to Earth on Saturday, September 21. To the naked eye, it will just be a speck of light, but if you have a telescope, you’ll get a better view, it will be fully illuminated by the sun.
On September 23, the moon will creep close to Jupiter. Look towards the southeastern horizon after sunset.
On September 25, the moon makes its way to Mars. With binoculars or a small telescope, you should be able to see the Martian surface.
Next week, the comet Tsuchinshan-ATLAS will be near the sun and may be visible!
