Astronomical Calendar: 2016 October

If you have a very good eastern horizon, you may want to look for
the close conjunction of the planets Mercury and Jupiter early Tuesday
Morning 2016 October 11, visible to Northern Hemisphere viewers
about an hour before sunrise. The actual conjunction occurs while the
planets are below the horizon, at 12:00 Midnight Eastern Daylight
Saving Time (EDT) / 4:00 Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), when
Mercury will be only 0.9 degree north of Jupiter.
