Starry Night This Week
Each week most PBS stations air "Jack
Horkheimer: Star Gazer", the world's first and only weekly TV series
on naked-eye astronomy. The Starry Night images on this page illustrate
the show for the week of Monday September 16, 2002. You can
view the complete show script, or watch
a RealPlayer video of the show.
Weekend Of The Harvest Moon And The Autumnal Equinox
The Harvest Moon is the closest full Moon to the Autumn Equinox. During this time, there is little difference in the time of Moon rise between successive days.
