Planet Scenes September 2020
 |
Jupiter and Saturn, September 20 Jupiter and Saturn have spent the summer of 2020 slowly retrograding westward in eastern Sagittarius. Now in the second half of September they finally resumed eastward motion and for the remainder of the year, Jupiter will slowly catch up to Cronus as they head for a conjunction in December. Note that they are both slightly south of the ecliptic now. |

Mars and Uranus, September 19 Mars comes to opposition in October 2020, so in September it is already becoming an outstanding sight in telescopes as it retrogrades through eastern Pisces. Note how it is still quite a bit south of the ecliptic, but as it retrogrades toward its opposition point it will be moving progressively farther north toward the ecliptic. Uranus is also nearing its opposition, which will occur on October 31, in the constellation Aries. |
