In the early evening, as twilight progresses in the western sky, the ringed planet <\/span><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">Saturn rises. However, it sets before midnight. <\/span><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">Neptune in Aquarius is a distant orb. It cannot be seen with the naked eye. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">Not <\/span><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">far from it, Jupiter stands out in Pisces with its bright light. In the evening sky, it will be <\/span><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">Brightness only surpassed by the moon. Jupiter can be seen until after midnight.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">Uranus, which was first discovered by Wilhelm Herschel in 1781, is currently in Aries. It can <\/span><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">can theoretically be found with the naked eye, but it requires a really dark <\/span><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">Sky and excellent eyes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">In the late evening, our outer neighbor, Mars, appears in the east in the constellation Taurus. It is <\/span><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">significantly brighter than the stars in this region and therefore cannot be overlooked. It stands <\/span><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">in the sky throughout the night, reaching a height of over 60 degrees above the horizon.<br \/>\n<\/span><br role=\"presentation\" \/><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">The starry sky is initially still dominated by the autumn square. The summer constellations are <\/span><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">has been pushed to the western half of the sky. In the north, the Great Bear is still creeping across the <\/span><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">horizon, but it quickly gains altitude in the northeast. Its most important stars are circumpolar <\/span><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">and are always above the horizon.<br \/>\n<\/span><br role=\"presentation\" \/><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">The coming winter is already announcing itself in the east. The twins are in the process of rising. Taurus <\/span><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">and Fuhrmann have preceded them. And the classic winter constellation, Orion, is also making its presence felt. <\/span><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">slowly becoming noticeable.<br \/>\n<\/span><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"><br \/>\nBelow the fish, the whale stands out. It is actually Cetus, the sea monster, to whom <\/span><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">Adromeda was to be sacrificed. However, Perseus was able to stop this just in time. <\/span><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">be prevented. We can now find everyone involved in the Andromeda saga in the sky. There is <\/span><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">first Andromeda, her father Cepheus, King of Ethiopia, her mother Cassiopeia, because of whose <\/span><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">vanity was to be sacrificed to Andromeda, Perseus, her savior, and the monster that Perseus <\/span><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">could turn it into stone just in time.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">Created by:  Willi Mayer<\/span><\/font><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>November is a month of meteors and shooting stars.
