If you are an amateur astronomer, you will be happy to learn that there are many exciting events that you can follow throughout the month of September. This month will be rich in exciting astronomical events, such as the emergence of the harvest moon, the autumnal equinox, which means for the inhabitants of the northern hemisphere the farewell of summer and the transition to the 'autumn. The main astronomical events of September are listed in chronological order:
September 9: Neptune in the interview
The astronomical events begin in September, the ninth day when Neptune participates in the interview, a term that designates two celestial bodies on the opposite side when they are observed from a specific place, often the Earth. Neptune will be at its closest point to Earth and its face will be fully illuminated by the sun.
September 14th: Harvest Moon
The full moon should appear on September 14th. Our moon will be on the other side of the earth facing the sun (between the earth and the sun), this means that his face will be completely enlightened.
Badr, this month, was known as the harvest moon in early Native American tribes because of its appearance at the time of corn harvest. Harvest Moon is known as the full moon that appears each year near the autumnal equinox.
September 23: autumn equinox
On that date, we will officially say goodbye in the fall. The equinox occurs in September when the sun shines directly on the equator and as day and night are almost equal worldwide.
For those in the northern hemisphere, September 23 marks the first day of autumn, while in the southern hemisphere it will be the first day of spring.
September 28th: New Moon
The last astronomical event of September is the emergence of a new moon that coincides with the twenty-eighth day. During this event, the moon is on the same side of the earth as the sun, making it invisible in the night sky.
Since the moon will not be visible, it will be one of the best times to watch towers and galaxies.
