Here on April 22, 2009, Venus is quite near the Moon. In fact, from some observers in the western United States, Venus was actually occulted by the Moon for a short time early this morning.

It transits, so is due north and highest, soon after 11pm on September 1, and soon after 10pm (NZDT) by the 31st. During September Jupiter will move a little further away from Neptune, due to its higher retrograde (westerly) motion. By the end of the month the two planets will be over 6.5° apart, both still in Capricornus. The nearly full Moon passes Jupiter on the night of September 2/3, with the two about 6° apart early evening and less than 4° apart about 5 am, shortly before they set. A second pass of the Moon occurs on the last evening of September when Moon and Jupiter will be 6° apart early evening. At the same time the Moon will less than 3° from Neptune. Also on September 3 there will be a short period when none of the 4 Galilean satellites of Jupiter is visible clear of the planet. Such events are quite rare. At this event Europa and Ganymede will transit across the face of Jupiter, while Io and Callisto will be behind Jupiter or eclipsed by the planet's shadow. The last satellite to disappear from view will be Ganymede which will begin to transit across the face of Jupiter at about 4.45pm, NZST (04:45 UT). The first to reappear will be Io from eclipse just after 6.25pm NZST (06:25 UT). Unfortunately for New Zealand viewers, most of this time span is before sunset. For much of NZ sunset time is close to 6 pm, ranging from 5:47pm at Gisborne to 6:19 pm at Invercargill. Some quick telescope viewing very soon after sunset will be needed to capture the event. The gradual reappearance of Io from eclipse should be detectable from most parts of NZ. It will occur between 6.28 and 6.30 pm close to Jupiter's eastern limb. http://www.rasnz.org.nz/SolarSys/Sep_09.htm Cheers! Andre mnz
