delivered TSTM for Sep-Oct

I delivered The Sky This Month presentation for the RASC Toronto Centre at the Ontario Science Centre on the evening of September 14. I highlighted events for the next 4 weeks, taking us to the next Recreational Astronomy Night meeting. I uploaded the notes to the Centre web site, along with a downloadable PDF file for the calendar.

The highlights:
  • an active Sun
  • deep sky objects near the Summer Triangle
  • comet Garradd in Hercules
  • Jupiter, moon shadows, and the Great Red Spot
  • the bright supernova in M101
  • Mars diving through the Beehive
  • nearby Uranus and some challenging moons
  • three of the First Four asteroids
  • the next Roscosmos launch...
Enjoy.
