Jupiter, Moon and Gemini Align in a Predawn Show on September 16, 2025

Jupiter, Moon and Gemini Align in a Predawn Show on September 16, 2025

Set your alarm for September 16, 2025: a waning crescent Moon glides 5° north of Jupiter, nestled near Pollux and Castor in Gemini. About an hour before sunrise, the pair sits roughly 50° high in the east. Telescopes and binoculars can reveal Jupiter’s four Galilean moons, and parts of the western U.S. may catch Europa’s shadow transit around 6 a.m. CDT. Clear eastern skies are key.
