The Harvest Moon has a trick no other full moon can quite match (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Harvest Moon has marketing problems. Since it's a full moon, naturally everyone expects it to look its best on full moon night. Not this one. Moreover, since it's now fashionable to dismiss all full moons for their sometimes silly-sounding names (we're looking at you, Beaver Moon), the clue in its name is often overlooked. The Harvest Moon is the full moon that happens closest to the autumnal equinox in September or October. This year, the September equinox occurred on Sept. 23 at 00:05 UTC
Everyone talks about 'equinox auroras' — but the Harvest Moon may have other plans (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Last winter I made two trips to see the aurora, one to northern Canada and the other to northern Sweden. Both trips had something in common — there were very few tourists around. While many so-called aurora-hunters go north in the depths of winter when the nights are longer (and colder), I rarely do, instead preferring the start and end of the aurora season — September and March. The reason is magnetism — and, more specifically, the "equinox effect". It sounds more precise than it is. Do auroras
I've chased the 'false dawn' for years — this is the week to find and photograph it (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Some stargazing feels like you know exactly what you are looking for, but you're still slightly unsure whether you are actually seeing it. Zodiacal light — meaning "light from the circle of animals" — is often like that. I have chased this so-called "false dawn" for years, and the first few minutes are always the same. I stare toward the horizon and wonder whether the sky is genuinely brighter there, or whether I am simply seeing distant light pollution, the first hint of morning twilight, or so
A star is exploding 45 million light-years away — here's how you can see it (opens the original)
Read excerpt
An extraordinary exploding star has been spotted in a distant galaxy, and astrophotographers are racing to capture it before it fades from view. The supernova, called SN 2026aaiv, was first seen by the ATLAS survey on Sept. 1 in NGC 7331 (also known as Caldwell 30), a spiral galaxy about 45 million light-years away in the constellation Pegasus, visible in the Northern Hemisphere and at mid-latitudes in the Southern Hemisphere. That makes this supernova a prime target for amateur astrophotographe
Venus is becoming a thinner crescent — and that's when it finally starts making sense (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Venus is something of a frustration for stargazers. It's the brightest planet and the easiest to see, while the sight of it close to a crescent moon is one of the most achingly beautiful sights in the sky. Yet it gives almost nothing away. Mars has its reddish color. Saturn rewards even a small telescope with its spectacular rings. Jupiter has moons, belts and an obvious disk. Venus, meanwhile, spends months blazing away in twilight looking exactly like what people who do not stargaze assume a s
