OK, we've got Venus rising about 6.18 AM by month's end. I look for Venus to the east about an hour before sunrise. Venus moved from the constellation of Virgo into Libra right now it is, and Libra again, shining at magnitude minus 3.9. Mars is setting about 5.10 PM by month's end. Look for Mars lower to the west in the evening about 30 minutes after sunset. Mars moved from the constellation of Libra into Ophiuchus, shining at magnitude 1.5. Mars is going to be kind of difficult to spot in the evening sky. You'll definitely have to get out there very soon after sunset. And hopefully the evening twilight glow won't interfere too much. It's going to be very good. We definitely have to have a very clear western horizon to spot Mars. It'll be swinging around to be a morning object next month. Jupiter is rising about 7.42 PM by month's end. Look for Jupiter to the southeast in the evening. And then follow it across the night sky as it sets in the early morning hours before dawn. Jupiter is in the constellation of Gemini, shining at magnitude minus 2.4. So Jupiter is getting better and better, rising earlier in the evening. So get out there, bundle up, and take a look for Jupiter towards the east and southeast later in the evening. We've got Saturn. Saturn will be stationary on the 28th, meaning that it does not appear to move forward nor backward relative to the background sky as well. Saturn is now rising about 1.15 PM in the afternoon. Actually, it's going to rise a little bit later than that, right for the next few days, but about 1.15 by month's end. Look for Saturn to the south in the evening. Soon after sunset, Saturn is in the constellation of Aquarius, shining at magnitude 0.8.
