5 planets will light up the September sky — here's how to see them
Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn are all visible this September. Here's when and where to look.
Five planets will grace the September sky, offering stargazers a spectacular celestial display. Venus, once a prominent object in the western evening twilight, will gradually descend lower in the southwest sky and set closer to the sun by the month's end. Mercury will emerge above the western horizon at dusk during the final week of September, primarily visible for those in the southern half of the U.S. Saturn will be visible throughout the night, reaching its highest point in the southern sky soon after midnight.
Mars, now shining brighter, is visible during predawn hours and will become increasingly noticeable as it approaches Earth. Jupiter, low in the eastern sky before sunrise, will continue to grow more prominent.
