Arab Weather - With the arrival of autumn, cold weather lovers have the opportunity to wander around, especially after experiencing the intense heat waves in the summer.

Night sky in autumn

You won't find many bright stars in the fall sky, but its special beauty is worth contemplating, especially when you learn more about its rich composition.

To begin exploring astronomy, head out onto your balcony or deck and gaze up at the night sky. During the fall months of September through December, you can watch the sky between 9 and 10 p.m. Look for the W-shaped cluster of stars, known as the constellation Cassiopeia . It may take some time to find it.

The Andromeda constellation is an important landmark in the night sky. It is a group of stars that have a distinctive shape and can be used as a guide to locate other stars. For example, it can be used to find Polaris, which indicates geographic north, helping you find your way if you are lost in the desert at night.

 

 

The constellation Andromeda helps locate another important constellation, Pegasus. Using the accompanying diagram, you can locate the Pegasus square, which consists of four faint stars. Although its stars are fainter than those of the Summer Triangle, finding this square will be easy, as its stars are among the brightest in that region.
