Welcome to Astronomy and Space. In this month’s program we take a look at the highlights of the September night sky.
NASA’s latest Moon mission the Lunar Atmosphere and Dust Environment Explorer (LADEE) which is set for launch on September 6th.
We also take an in-depth look at the planet Jupiter which is now attracting attention from amateur astronomers; Including how to best observe the cloud features, and carryout transit measurements over the coming months.
In every way Jupiter is a fascinating world; it is also the object which offers the greatest scope to the amateur astronomer who is reasonably well equipped. Its surface is always changing, and one can never tell what each new apparition will bring forth, so that there is plenty to be done. Even those who have no equipment other than binoculars can take an interest in Jupiter.
