This week’s sky offers highlights from late summer to early fall. Evenings reveal Arcturus and the Boötes Kite setting in the west, while early mornings preview the winter sky with Orion, Aldebaran, the Pleiades, and Sirius. Venus and Spica meet in a twilight conjunction, moving apart gradually as the week progresses. A waning gibbous Moon joins Saturn, and the last quarter Moon rises late in the week. Altair, Vega, and Deneb dominate the evening sky, with opportunities to spot the Dumbbell Nebula. Pre-dawn planetary views feature bright Venus, dim Mars, rising Jupiter, and Saturn high in the south. https://skyandtelescope.org/astronomy-news/this-weeks-sky-at-a-glance-august-28-september-6/
