This week we explore the celestial wonders gracing the night sky from November 24th to the 30th. With the Moon transitioning to a waning crescent, the darker skies set the stage for breathtaking views of Venus and Jupiter, Saturn’s iconic rings, and the distant glow of Uranus near the Pleiades—a cluster tied to harvest myths and Thanksgiving themes.

We’ll look at the sprawling constellation Eridanus, Auriga’s glittering star clusters, and the enchanting Monoceros, home to the Rosette Nebula and the Christmas Tree Cluster.

Later, we’ll explore the fascinating “bubble” that encapsulates our solar system—a remnant of an ancient supernova. Learn how this Local Bubble connects us to a vast cosmic network of interstellar tunnels.
