Today:
The Perseid Meteor Shower continues this evening, again further from its peak, but the moon is dimming, now down to 59 percent illuminated. Meteors are almost always favored after midnight, because our spinning Earth turns into the direction we are orbiting. This increases the number of particles we run into along our orbit.
Saturday:
Just after 10:30 this evening, the Half Moon climbs into the east-northeast. As the Moon climbs higher in the hours after midnight, take note of the patch of faint stars struggling to be seen just above our celestial neighbor, known as the Seven Sisters, or the Pleiades. Look for them in the evenings this November, a harbinger of the coming winter.
Sunday:
The Andromeda Galaxy is the only distant galaxy we can see with our own eyes. In the next few nights look in the northeast, just below the Milky Way, and about one third of the way up from the horizon near 9:15 PM EDT. It appears as a small, oval smudge of light, enhanced by viewing through binoculars.
