1 rich Libsyn https://www.libsyn.com 90 600 Welcome to Observing With Webb, where a high school astronomy teacher tells you what you’re looking at, why it’s so cool, and what you should check out later this month…at night. &amp;nbsp; 2022 is the summer of morning planets!&amp;nbsp; Jupiter, Saturn, Mars, and Venus are all quite prominent, with Mercury stopping by in June.&amp;nbsp; Throughout the summer, get up early to see the weeks where the Moon drives by the planets, and maybe catch a few meteors in August, as some of the planets return to the evening skies.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Sunset – only in August: Mercury – All of August, look W right after sunset and you might be able to catch Mercury less than 10˚ above the horizon, the first “star” appearing at dusk in that direction. Saturn – The beginning of the ringed planet’s nightfall appearance schedule is August.&amp;nbsp; August 1st it rises at 9:30pm in the ESE, and is already up in the SE about 10˚ above the horizon at month’s end.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs.&amp;nbsp; Just visit: https://www.patreon.com/365DaysOfAstronomy and donate as much as you can!
