Sky Matters: November is a great month for stargazing

Jupiter is the brightest object in the night sky this month.

November can be a good month for stargazing — if the clouds stay away.

The nights are long and darkness falls early, so even the kids have a chance to look at some stars and planets before bedtime. Saturn is visible until about 10:30pm and Jupiter until about 2am all month, and you could do worse than making them the first targets to find as soon as it gets any way darkish.
