Sky Watch - the night skies about Petersfield in September 2025

This month is crammed with cool observations but first, let's start with a stargazing riddle! When is a planet not a planet? And looking to the skies, our nearest neighbour in space, the Moon, has a treat in store on the 7th! That evening, there's a total lunar eclipse and the Moon will rise in Earth's shadow as seen from the Petersphere. Listen to this month's Sky Watch and discover the wonders of our dark skies in the Petersphere. Written by Petersphere resident, astronomical expert and amateur astronomer Geoff Burt, and voiced by Claire Vennis, every month Shine Radio presents a Sky Watch of our unique dark skies.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
