THE SUMMER TRIANGLE STARS CHART IN THE NORTHERN HEMISPHERE
In September, Florida skies will offer views of the constellation Pegasus, the Great Square of Pegasus, and potentially some bright planets depending on the time and location. Venus and Jupiter will be visible in the predawn east, while Saturn will be visible in the mid-evening east and Mars will be visible in the evening west. A new moon on September 21 will provide dark skies for stargazing.
