September puts four Moon-planet pairings within three weeks. ๐๐ช
Early risers can catch the Moon near Mars on September 6 and Jupiter on September 8. After sunset, it approaches Venus on September 14 and Saturn around September 26, while Venus reaches peak evening brightness later in the month. The September Epsilon Perseids peak near the new moon, improving dark-sky viewing. The September 26 Harvest Moon follows the equinox, while Neptune reaches opposition and remains a telescope target all night.
