The waning crescent moon passes well north of Mars on the morning of the 24th. Look for the thin crescent moon to be above and to the left of Venus on the evening of the 30th. The movement of Jupiter's Galilean moons is something many amateur astronomers follow with great interest. Below is a summary of the events that occur this month. All times before the 29th are EDT, after that Eastern Standard Time begins.
All events require a telescope for viewing.
The Red Spot transits the disk on the following dates and times. It can be seen for about an hour before and after the times shown. Titan can be seen east of the rings on the 14th and 30th, west of the rings on the 6th and 22th, south of the rings on the 11th and 26th, and north of the rings on the 2nd and 18th. Two minor meteor showers occur this month. Both will be affected slightly by extra moonlight in the sky.
