Saturday night’s crescent moon appears near the bright planet Mars.

The ringed planet was a mainstay in our southern sky for a long time this year.

This weekend we have the Pumpkin Moon, a full moon rising in the east on Sunday night.

Friday night the moon appears near the bright red planet Mars.

Early next week the thin crescent moon takes a walk past the brilliant planet Venus.

We saw the bright planet Venus last Friday night.
