Don't Miss Your Chance to See Saturn and Neptune in September: Here's How (www.msn.com)

I just saw Saturn as a super bright dot next to the moon. Apparently it'll be visible for a stretch throughout September, with Neptune also coming into view later this month.

Make sure to take a look at the night sky sometime this month if you want to see some planets!

Please note that Neptune is basically impossible to see with the naked eye. So a good set of binoculars or a telescope is required. Doesn't have to be anything fancy, but Neptune isn't all that much to look at. Saturn on the other hand is beautiful in even a modest telescope.
