What beginners can find and see: Nov 21-27

Have you ever seen a VERY young Moon? How about a very OLD Moon? (Both are extremely thin crescents.) There happen to be a few conveniently placed planets this month to help observers potentially spot both.

Also, Mars makes for a great guide to locating some galaxies in Leo, and Jupiter of course still rules the night sky for the majority of the night.

I hope you enjoy the video, and I wish you clear - and dark! - skies.

Rory, you're welcome, and thanks for that link. Interesting that we focused on many of the same things, despite that I've never even visited that site before! Good stuff, indeed.
