From September 26 to October 5, the night sky offers a series of lunar and planetary highlights. Cygnus and Vega dominate the early evenings, while the waxing Moon moves through Scorpius, Sagittarius, and Capricornus, forming striking alignments with Antares, Saturn, and Fomalhaut. The Moon reaches first quarter on September 29 and approaches full by October 6. Saturn shines brightly in the southeast, with the Great Square of Pegasus and Andromeda rising nearby. Jupiter appears after midnight, joined by Castor and Pollux, while Venus emerges in the pre-dawn sky near Regulus. Uranus and Neptune are visible to telescope users, and Ceres reaches opposition. https://skyandtelescope.org/astronomy-news/this-weeks-sky-at-a-glance-september-26-october-5/
