Celestial Events & NASA’s New Telescope | Spokane News

This September’s sky is packed with celestial drama: catch the Harvest Moon on the 26th, aligning with Indigenous names like the Lakota’s “moon when leaves turn brown,” and don’t miss International Observe the Moon Night on the 19th. The autumnal equinox on the 22nd brings Seattlehenge — a stunning sunset alignment with the city’s grid and Smith Tower. Watch as the moon dances near Mars (6th), Jupiter (8th), and Venus/Mercury (14th), then joins Saturn on the 25th. Venus shines brightest on the 18th, while the Andromeda Galaxy and Summer Triangle are prime targets for stargazers. And in space news: NASA’s Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope just launched — a Hubble-sized leap forward with a wide field of view, exoplanet hunting tech, and the power to map the cosmos faster than ever.
