Neptune is 2.4 arcseconds wide, and so a telescope with a magnification of 150x is needed to show its diminutive disk.įirst quarter occurs on the 2 nd, full moon on the 9 th, last quarter on the 17 th, new moon on the 25 th, and first quarter again on the 31 st. On the 15 th, Neptune is at Right Ascension 23 h 37 m 14 s and declination -3° 47ʹ 37ʺ. On the 1 st, the planet rises at 5:56 p.m., PDT, and on the 31 st at 3:56 p.m., PDT. Uranus is 3.8 arcseconds wide, and so a telescope with a magnification of 150x is needed to show its diminutive disk. On the 15 th, Uranus is at Right Ascension 3 h 2 m 7 s with a declination of +16° 48ʹ 6ʺ. On the 1 st, the planet rises at 8:23 p.m., PDT, and on the 31 st at 6:22 p.m., PDT. The rings and Saturn’s largest moon Titan can be seen with a telescope capable of magnification 50x. On the 1 st, the planet rises at 4:21 p.m., PDT, and on the 31 st at 2:22 p.m., PDT. Griffith Observatory holds this public program online on the first Friday of every month. A telescope capable of magnification 50x will show the Red Spot and the four bright Galilean moons, which can be seen moving back and forth, roughly in a line centered on Jupiter. All Space Considered Remote October 2022. Jupiter’s disk is 50 arcseconds wide on the 15 th. On the 1 st, Jupiter rises at 6:22 p.m., PDT, and on the 31 st at 3:15 p.m., PDT. A telescope capable of magnification of 100x or more will be needed to show the disk and any large surface features. On the 31 st, Mars rises at 8:39 p.m., PDT, with a disk that is 93-percent illuminated and 15 arcseconds wide.

On the 1 st, the planet rises at 10:20 p.m., PDT, with a disk that is 88-percent illuminated and 12 arcseconds wide. Do not observe any planet when it appears close to the sun, for the danger to the eyes is great. It is too close to the sun to be safely observed in October. Venus rises at 6:21 a.m., PDT, on the 1 st and rises at 6:01 a.m., PDT on the 31 st. Mercury is 99-percent illuminated and 4.8 arcseconds wide. On the 31 st, Mercury rises at 6:47 a.m., PDT, and the sun rises at 7:12 a.m., PDT. Mercury is 18-percent illuminated and 8.7 arcseconds wide. Mercury rises at 5:43 a.m., PDT, and the sun rises at 6:48 a.m., PDT, on the 1 st. Here are the events happening in the sky of southern California. Avoid the hassle of congestion and parking fees, use DASH Observatory.This is the Griffith Observatory Sky Report for the period between October 1 and October 31, 2022. it connects at the Sunset/Vermont Metro station and makes stops through Los Feliz village, The Greek Theatre, Mt Hollywood hiking trail and the front lawn of the Griffith Observatory. DASH Observatory is the official transit provider into Griffith Park. Last shuttle to depart from The Griffith Observatory is at 10pm.Īvoid the hassle of traffic congestion and parking fees and use public transit.

*The bus runs on Mondays, even though the Observatory building is closed. The easiest option to visit the Griffith Observatory or to hike to a view of the Hollywood Sign will be to use public transit, the DASH Observatory shuttle, which is available 7 days a week, The higher elevations of Griffith Park can be extremely congested with heavy traffic and limited parking opportunities especially on weekends, holidays and during the Summer.
