Lunar and Saturnial Rendezvous Tonight: Don't miss the chance to spot the radiant Moon next to Saturn in the night sky; instructions included.

Get ready for an astronomical treat! The nights are growing darker, signalling the start of astronomy season, and a special event is on the horizon. On Monday, 8 September 2025, the Moon and Saturn will come together in a beautiful pairing in the night sky.

If you're an avid stargazer or just a curious observer, this is an opportunity you won't want to miss. The Moon and Saturn will rise together in the east, climbing higher in the sky and reaching southeast around midnight. Before they're lost in the morning twilight, the Moon and Saturn will be visible in the western part of the sky as dawn approaches.

For those in Germany, the best date to witness this celestial event is around 8 September 2025, when the Moon comes very close to Saturn (~3 degrees) in the evening sky. This close encounter will make for a stunning sight, especially as Saturn's iconic rings become visible.

If you're planning to capture this moment, you can share your observations and images by emailing contactus@our website. Don't forget to read our guide on how to observe Saturn and its moons to make the most of this unique opportunity.

In addition to this exciting event, there's plenty to see in the autumn and winter night sky. The autumn season will also bring three consecutive supermoons in October, November, and December 2025. So, mark your calendars and get ready for a season filled with celestial wonders!

Lastly, if you missed the 'blood Moon' lunar eclipse on 7 September, don't worry. If you missed it this time, tonight (8 September) there's another chance to see a large, bright Moon, just after full.

Stay tuned for more updates on these awe-inspiring celestial events, and happy stargazing!
