OBSERVING
October 2019

2 EVENING: Algol shines at
minimum brightness for roughly two
hours centered at 9:23 p.m. EDT;
see page 50.
3 DUSK: The waxing crescent Moon
and Jupiter are about 1½° apart in the
southwest shortly after sunset, while
Antares smolders some 10° to the
pair's lower right.

4 DUSK: Saturn, the Moon, Jupiter,
and Antares extend along a shallow arc
34° long stretching from the south to
the southwest as evening falls.

17 EVENING: The waning gibbous
Moon rises in Taurus about 2½ hours
after sunset with Aldebaran some 3°
to 4° to its right or upper right.
19 EVENING: Algol shines at
minimum brightness for roughly two
hours centered at 11:15 p.m. PDT.

21-22 ALL NIGHT: The moderate
Orionids meteor shower peaks in the
evening. The radiant, northeast of
Betelgeuse, stands high by midnight
local time. However, light from the
last-quarter Moon will interfere
somewhat. See page 48 for details.

5 DUSK: The first-quarter Moon and
Saturn hover in Sagittarius between
the Teapot's handle and the Teaspoon,
some 2° separating the pair.

22 EVENING: Algol shines at
minimum brightness for roughly two
hours centered at 11:04 p.m. EDT
(8:04 p.m. PDT).

25 EVENING: Algol shines at
minimum brightness for roughly two
hours centered at 7:53 p.m. EDT.
26 DAWN: The thinnest sliver of the
almost-new Moon, Mars, and Porrima
form a triangle in Virgo low on the
eastern horizon just before sunrise.
Binoculars will help.
29 DUSK: Right after sunset, look
toward the southwest to find the Moon,
not quite 2 days old, and Venus less
than 5° apart.
31 DUSK: As at the start of the
month, we again find the waxing
crescent Moon and the two gas giants,
Saturn and Jupiter, gracing the skies in
the southwest after sunset.
