Jupiter is the brightest planet overhead for most of the night.  It will rise in the east-northeast around 8 pm and will still be high in the sky as dawn breaks.

A bright silvery moon makes its monthly trip along the zodiac.  On the evening of the 29th, it will rise around 6 pm as the Full Hunter's Moon, a name given by early settlers who found its light helpful for laying in provisions for the coming winter.  Some native peoples called the October full moon the Blood Moon or the Red Leaves Moon.  Occasionally, when a full moon would come early in September, that would be called the Fruit Moon and the October full moon would then be the Harvest Moon.

On the 31st, a gibbous moon will rise around 7 o'clock and the bright light of the Tummyache Moon will be helpful to trick-or-treaters laying in provisions.  One day later, on November First, the moon will rise within kissing distance of Jupiter.  Perhaps we could call that the Snuggle Moon.  Oh, my!


Daylight Saving Time ends and Winter Wasteful Time begins early on Sunday, November 4.  Brrrr!


     Keep looking up!
