Description

It’s been a short break due to technical issues, travel, and life in general, but the show is far from gone. Thanks to everyone who wrote in asking about it — your messages mean the world.

Here’s what’s happening in the night sky from September 28 – October 4:

  • September 28: A waxing crescent Moon appears, climbing higher each evening.
  • September 30: The Moon reaches first quarter, brightening the evening skies.
  • Saturn is well placed for evening viewing, glowing steadily in the south.
  • Jupiter rises late at night into the pre-dawn hours, a bright beacon in the east.
  • It’s the quiet buildup before a busy October — meteor showers, conjunctions, and cosmic curiosities await.

The next episode (October 5) will feature a special segment on the unsolved mysteries of the cosmos—from strange planetary tilts to unexplained cosmic signals. Think of it as an astronomy-flavored Unsolved Mysteries.

Until then, clear skies!
