Rising a short time after sunset, September 6th, Jupiter closely follows the Full Moon
during its traverse of the nighttime sky...
...as seen in this simulated binocular view.
And in the pre-dawn skies of September 5-11, the planets Mercury and Venus can be seen to
perform a "shuffle" with the star Regulus.
(The remaining stars of Leo—and its figure—are shown in their positions for
September 11th.)
