And right now, the nights will get longer and the days will get shorter until we hit the winter solstice and then we'll start that progression all over again. Alright, for those south of the equator, autumn actually, or as you'd say springtime actually started at the first of the month. Okay, we got Mars. Mars is about 8 p.m. this week. Look for Mars low to the west in the evening about 30 minutes after sunset and Mars is in the constellation of Virgo, shining at 2.1.6. Then we got Jupiter. Jupiter is rising about 1 a.m. this week. Look for Jupiter to the south in the early morning hours before dawn. Jupiter is in the constellation of Gemini, shining at magnitude minus 2.0. Then we got Saturn was at opposition on the 21st, rising as the sun sets. Saturn is now rising about, oh, 6.50 p.m. this week. Look for Saturn while being late in the evening. Saturn is at its best doing for the year. Saturn is in the constellation of Pisces, shining at magnitude 0.6. Right now, Saturn's rings are about edge on, so you're just going to see a line right across the face of Saturn. You might be able to see Titan transitioning across the face of Saturn if you're lucky. But definitely, you'll definitely see some banding and probably several of the Saturnian moons as well. So take a look at that through a telescope. We got Uranus. So Uranus is rising about 9.30 p.m. this week. Look for Uranus to the southeast in the late evening. Uranus is in the constellation of Taurus, shining at magnitude 5.7.
