Solar noon will be 4.5 Minutes later then the clock on the wall. Special Star - Vega, the pole star in 13,000 years now west of Antares, giant red star, near horizon, west northwest. zenith. Special Constellation: Summer triangle overhead. Stars are: Deneb in the constellation CYGNUS (the swan); Altair in the constellation AQUILA (the Eagle); and Vega (the polestar in 13,000 years) in the constellation LYRA (the lyre- a small ancient harp like musical instrument). The three stars of the triangle appear to be about the same brightness. However, Vega is 26 light years away, Altar is about 17 light years away and Deneb is about 1600 light years away.

It is a good viewing of Saturn, perhaps the most impressive of the planets look to the southeast. Look for Saturn's shadow cast on the rings giving a kind of 3-D effect. September is a month of harvest time and traditionally a time of season that foretold what winter would bring "weather prophets of yesteryear" would say. These September signs were often remembered through simple folklore rhymes. Here are four such rhymes: Doves fleeing south Before a September storm, Look for a winter to be Anything but warm. Doves calling on a September Day, Means gentle rain is on the way. When late September Brings an early frost, Fail to stack firewood And you'll pay the cost. Snakes in September heading To their den, A sure sign cold's about to Set in. esmc94.sep
