DEAN:
YOU'RE OUTSIDE ON A CLEAR,

DARK NIGHT AND YOU LOOK UP AND SEE
THE MOON.

BUT WAIT, THERES A WEIRD STAR NEXT TO IT!

JAMES:
IF IT IS REALLY BRIGHT, CHANCES ARE YOUVE

SPOTTED A PLANET.

DEAN:
WE HAVE OUR SKY SET FOR JUST AFTER SUNSET

ON THE NIGHT OF SEPTEMBER 10TH FACING SOUTHWEST.

AS THE SKY DARKENS, YOULL EASILY SPOT THE
PLANET VENUS.

JAMES:
THE MOON WILL BE EASY TO SPOT ON THE EVENING

OF THE 11TH AND PASS OVER VENUS ON THE 12TH.

DEAN:
AND ON SEPTEMBER 13TH, THE MOON HAS SHIFTED

NEAR THE GIANT
PLANET JUPITER.

JAMES:
ITS NOW 9PM AND WERE FACING SOUTH.

WHEN WE ADVANCE TO SEPTEMBER 17TH,
THE MOON WILL APPEAR NEAR SATURN.

DEAN:
AND ON THE 19TH IT WILL BE IN CONJUNCTION

WITH THE RED PLANET, MARS!

ONCE YOU IDENTIFY THESE FOUR PLANETS, VENUS,
JUPITER, SATURN, AND MARS,

YOU CAN WATCH THEM EVERY NIGHT THIS
MONTH -EVEN IF THE MOON ISNT NEARBY.

BOTH:
KEEP LOOKING UP!
