October, November and December night time skies are worth watching. Here's an update on what's up from the Ohio Northern University Astronomy Observatory. Three of these e events are programs at the observatory open to the public.
On the morning of Wednesday, Oct. 28, there will be a triple conjunction of Venus, Jupiter and Mars in the eastern sky. The three planets will form a tight, 1-degree triangle. There will be no observatory event for this, but it is an easy event to enjoy with the naked eye.
