September celestial events: Saturn, Jupiter, Mars
September 2026 witnessed many significant astronomical phenomena, most notably the approach of the autumnal equinox, and the appearance of the "Pomegranate Moon," which reached fullness on September 26 and approached Saturn in the sky, with its name symbolizing the pomegranate harvest and the fall season. The month also coincided with improved visibility and fullness of Saturn, along with the appearance of Jupiter and Mars in the dawn sky. On September 8, the Moon and Jupiter appeared close together, which in some regions could lead to an occultation. The month’s events culminated in the observation of comet 220P/McNaught, which is faint and requires a suitable telescope, as well as Saturn’s proximity to the Sun during opposition in early October. Additionally, the autumnal equinox occurred on September 23, marking the beginning of fall in the Northern Hemisphere, providing excellent opportunities for sky observation with various instruments.
