Skywatchers can use the full Harvest Moon on Saturday evening, September 26, to help locate Saturn in the night sky.

The September full moon is the Harvest Moon because it occurs closest to the autumnal equinox.

Saturn is less visually striking than brighter planets such as Venus and Jupiter, appearing to the unaided eye as a bright yellowish-white star.

Around 9 p.m. local time, Saturn should be visible about one-quarter of the way above the east-southeast horizon, Space.com has reported.

With clear skies, the moon’s position almost directly above Saturn will provide an excellent opportunity to view both objects through a telescope.
