I ll turn our attention over to our closest neighbors, the planets, our moon and the sun.
Lets start with the planets.
You ll be surprised to how much detail a pair of binoculars can reveal when viewing Venus, Jupiter, Mars and Saturn. On October 29, Venus is in superior conjunction. Which means that Venus is exactly opposite the sun in relation to us, and therefore, cannot be observed. The next chance for any observations of Venus comes late in November when the planet emerges from behind the sun. October s Jupiter blazes away at magnitude -2.9 and stays this bright throughout the month.
