::Monthly Skies September
September Skies
Our planet parade begins the month at dusk on the 1st through the 3rd with Venus, Mercury, Mars and a crescent Moon all hugging the western horizon. Apart from the Moon, Venus and Mercury will be the easiest to find as compared to Mars at magnitude 1.7. To catch this grouping of planets a pair of binoculars will come in handy especially if you want to see Mars.
