September’s night sky offers stunning celestial events as summer transitions into fall. Across much of the United States, daylight shortens by over an hour, with northern regions seeing more than 100 minutes less by month’s end. Early risers on September 7 and 8 can enjoy a predawn display as the crescent moon aligns with Mars and Jupiter near the Orion constellation. The autumnal equinox occurs on September 22 at 8:05 p.m. EDT, signaling longer nights ahead. September concludes with the beloved Harvest Moon on September 26, providing bright evenings that historically helped farmers collect their crops. https://www.accuweather.com/en/space-news/septembers-night-sky-brings-planets-longer-nights-and-the-harvest-moon/1927237
