There are a lot of interesting things to observe in the night sky these days, if that interests you. You won’t even need a telescope for most of them – a good pair of binoculars should be enough.
For the past few days, getting up in the pre dawn hours for Selichos, I encountered a false dawn. I had to search an astonomy website before I knew what it was – until then I thought it meant that dawn was miscalculated.
Last night, I saw the Great Red Spot on Jupiter for the first time. It’s not at all a rare thing to see, but I just never took the time to look.
The asteroid Juno was unusually bright last night as well – it was right next to planet Uranus which is extremely bright these days.
