SUMMARY:The Moon 29′ from Venus
DESCRIPTION:The Moon passes 29′ from Venus — close enough that a thumb 
 held at arm's length covers both at once\, and a pair of binoculars holds 
 them in one field. Look after sunset\; the Moon moves its own width every 
 hour\, so the gap looks noticeably different either side of tonight.\n\nht

SUMMARY:Neptune at opposition
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
