November marks the beginning of dark and crisp winter nights, even if it means having to wrap up to keep warm Clocks will have gone back (at least here in the UK) towards the end of October, so you won't have to say up quite so late to enjoy the night sky. As every, there is plenty to see, and who knows - hopefully a few surprises as well.
In this monthly review, we show you the phases of the moon, what planets can be seen, and anything else that might draw your gaze up into the night sky.
Produced by the European Southern Observatory, and presented by Dr. J the ESO Cast is a monthly look behind the scenes of one of the worlds most prominant observatories. Have a look at all the editions here.
