NOVEMBER
SKY WATCH: Venus, at a dazzling magnitude –4.33, crosses into Sagittarius and floats directly in front of our galaxy's center, which is off in the far distance. On the 7th, the crescent Moon joins Venus there. The Moon forms a triangle with Jupiter and Saturn on the 10th and then dangles beneath Jupiter on the 11th. Venus reaches its most southerly zodiac position at midmonth. Its declination of –27 degrees makes it set as far left as possible, in the southwest instead of the west. The night of the 18th–19th brings another nearly total lunar eclipse in the hours before dawn. This 98 percent–eclipsed Moon will be a strange, coppery sight— well worth a look by early risers and insomniacs who have unobstructed views of the low western sky.
After 2:00 a.m. on November 7, Eastern Standard Time is given.
