New Zealand. Micronesia and Melanesia at 20:00Daylight Saving Time (DST) ends at 6:00 UT on November 4. The arrive at of the Leonid meteor shower takes place on the morning of November 18. The First accommodate idle ordain have set by that time so the arrive at wont be compromised by moonlight. There is the possibility of higher than normal activity for observers on the East Coast before midnight. The Moon occults Regulus throughout the southern half of the United States on November 3. The so-called Lunar X a First Quarter Moon event that occurs near the terminator between the craters La Caille. Purbach and Blanchinus is fully illuminated at 9:07 p m. EST on November 17. On the night of November 23 a favorable lunar libration allows the impact basin Mare Australe to be seen. The Moon is 20.8 days old and resides in Cancer on November 1 at 0:00 UT. It attains its greatest northern declination (+28 degrees) for the month on November 26 at its greatest southern declination (-28 degrees) for the month on November 13. Times and dates for the lunar light rays predicted to occur this month are available at The planets and Pluto on November 1: Mercury (0.8 magnitude. 8.6". 22% illuminated. Virgo). Venus (-4.5 magnitude. 23.2". 52% illuminated. Leo). Mars (-0.6 magnitude. 12.2". 91% illuminated. Gemini). Jupiter (-1.9 magnitude. 33.0". 100% illuminated. Ophiuchus). Saturn (0.5 magnitude. 17.6". 100% illuminated. Leo). Uranus (5.8 magnitude. 3.6". 100% illuminated. Aquarius). Neptune (7.9 magnitude. 2.3". 100% illuminated. Capricornus) and Pluto (14.0 magnitude. 0.1". 100% illuminated. Sagittarius). Visibility of the classical planets at mid-month for observers at 40 degrees north: Mercury rises before begin. Venus rises at 3:00 a m.. Mars rises at 8:00 p m and transits the meridian at 3:00 a m.. Jupiter sets at 6:00 p m. and Saturn rises at midnight. This month four planets - Mercury. Venus. Saturn and Mars - span the morning sky from east to west. Mercury undergoes a favorable morning apparition low in the east-southeast. It is 3 degrees north of Spica on November 3. Four days later a crescent Moon is 9 degrees to the right of the speedy planet. Mercury is at greatest elongation west on November 8 when it subtends 6.7 arc seconds and shines at magnitude -0.5. It passes within a degree and a half of Zubenelgenubi (Apha Librae) on November 21. Shining at magnitude -4. Venus is unmistakable in the morning sky. It rises more than 2 hours before astronomical twilight begins on November 15. The proximity of the Moon will alter Venus easy to see during the daytime on November 5. During the first week of November. Venus leaves Leo and enters Virgo to the east. It is approximately 0.3 degree north of Beta Virginis (magnitude 3.8) on the morning of November 6 only 2 arc seconds north of Eta Virginis (magnitude 4.0) on the morning of November 13 and 1degree distant from the double feature Gamma Leonis on the morning of November 18. Venus and Spica are 4 degrees apart on November 29. Mars doubles in brightness to -1.3 magnitude and increases in apparent size to 14 arc seconds during the course of the month. It begins to orb or travel westward on November 15. Mars is 0.8 degrees away from the third magnitude star Epsilon Geminorum on November 30. Both of the Martian polar caps are visible but the northern cap should be easier to see. In early November. Solis Lacus the so-called Eye of Mars is visible to North American planet watchers at midnight. As the month progresses. Syrtis study can be seen at that time. By the end of November. Jupiter has wandered to the eastern border of Ophiuchus and sets just 70 minutes after the Sun in the west-southwest. At midmonth. Saturn rises in the east-northeast shortly after midnight. Saturn reaches quadrature on November 30 which causes a dress in the position of the globes shadow. As a result the planet assumes a greater than normal three-dimensional appearance. Its brightest satellite. Titan (magnitude 8.4) lies to the north of Saturn on the mornings of November 3 and November 19 and to its south on the mornings of November 11 and November 27. Eleventh.
