Saturn in the Southern Sky!!

This image is arranged using Stellarium

Just went out stargazing today since the sky is clear. Supposedly, I was going to search Vega, part of the constellation Lyra because it is the topic of today's Sky and Telescope. However, I'm quite disspointed that the East side of the sky is where my house front's facing and the street light really killed the actual brightness of Vega :(

Feeling unsatisfied, I return to my usual stargazing site (backyard) which the southern/western sky can be clearly viewed. Surprisingly, I saw Saturn, inside the constellation Virgo and right beside one of Virgo's star Porrima. I'm still not familar with the time for planet to occur and so on, so this really gives me an unexpected excitement : ).

Now that I've spread the news, perhaps you should take a look of Saturn for the following nights! If you squeezed your eyes a little harder, you can see Porrima beside it too (Saturn has a visual magnitude of 1.0 and Porrima's is around 3.40~3.50, that just gives you the idea of how the contrast would show, but the actual view depend on how light polluted your stargazing area is though)
