StarDate Susitna, October 22, 2023, by Kathleen Fleming

In this edition of StarDate Susitna, Kathleen Fleming directs our attention to the rest of Ursa Major (it’s much more than the Big Dipper), the waxing gibbous Moon near Saturn, the special features of a 9 1/2 day old moon, and the Full Moon next to Jupiter. Also, the Orionids continue and Aurora has been happening.
