Harvest Moon Rises Near Saturn and Neptune

From the NASA “What’s Up” website: The Harvest Moon takes center stage, rising in the east shortly after sunset. It won't be alone. Saturn appears nearby, with faint Neptune completing a wide triangle in the sky. Saturn is the easy one-you can see it with just your eyes. Neptune is a bit more challenging. At around magnitude 8, it's too faint to see with the unaided eye …so you'll need binoculars or a telescope to spot it. Darker skies and good observing conditions can help bring it into view.
