DESCRIPTION:Neptune is directly opposite the Sun from here\, so it rises as
  the Sun sets\, stands highest at midnight and sets at sunrise. It is also
  about as close to Earth as it gets this time round\, which makes this its
  brightest and biggest night of the year — the one to point a telescope 
 at it.\n\nhttps://spacecatalog.org/calendar#2026-09

  It is the best night of the month to look at the Moon and the worst to lo

SUMMARY:The Moon 1.1° from Jupiter
DESCRIPTION:The Moon passes 1.1° from Jupiter — close enough that a thum
 b held at arm's length covers both at once\, and a pair of binoculars hold
 s them in one field. Look after sunset\; the Moon moves its own width ever
 y hour\, so the gap looks noticeably different either side of tonight.\n\n

SUMMARY:Penumbral lunar eclipse
DESCRIPTION:The Moon passes through the soft outer edge of Earth's shadow\,
  not the dark core of it. The whole disc dims slightly and unevenly — en
 ough to notice in a photograph taken before and after\, and easy to miss b
 y eye.\n\nhttps://spacecatalog.org/calendar#2027-02

  It is the best night of the month to look at the Moon and the worst to lo
