  "account": "In November, a spectacular lineup of bright planets will adorn the morning and evening skies. Saturn, visible in the southern sky during late evening hours, boasts its iconic ring system tilted at 6½ degrees to our line of sight. Mercury, hidden during its inferior conjunction with the sun on November 4, will emerge in the eastern morning sky, reaching its greatest western elongation (20 degrees) from the sun on November 20. Venus, appearing as a silvery lamp in the early morning hours, will rise notably higher each day, with its peak brightness of magnitude -4.9 occurring late in the month. Mars, nestled in Leo, will approach and pass Jupiter on November 16, before heading eastward. On November 7, an enchanting sight awaits observers: a crescent moon, Venus, and the 1st-magnitude star Spica will form a tight cluster low in the east-southeast sky.",
  "summary": "From a close encounter between Mars and Jupiter to dazzling Venus and elusive Mercury, November offers plenty of planetary highlights. Here's when and where to look.",
