One day before the full moon, October 8, our natural satellite will slip under Jupiter above the East-Southeast horizon at dusk. Saturn, meanwhile, will be above the southern horizon, at a height comparable to that of the Moon.
As you know, to observe the sky at night, you have to avoid light pollution and on October 8, many municipalities in Wallonia and Brussels will organize the 15th edition of the night of darkness. This event aims to raise public awareness of the problem of light pollution and its harmful effects on health, fauna and flora, but also on astronomical observations, as well as on the energy savings that more appropriate lighting can generate. .
