There Goes Summer...

If you live in the Northern Hemisphere, summer 2022 ends on August 31, and September 1 marks the beginning of fall (autumn). Meteorologically, that is. As per the astronomical definition, you have until the equinox on September 22 or 23, depending on your time zone, to enjoy the final days of summer.

For those in the Southern Hemisphere, September 1 is the start of meteorological spring.

Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn are visible in the night sky for the next few weeks. Look for Venus and Mars in the early mornings before the Sun rises. The two gas giants, Jupiter and Saturn, are visible for most of the night after the Sun sets.
