I pick out North America’s celestial highlights for the week ahead (which also applies to northern hemisphere mid-northern latitudes).

It's a busy week in outer space! Dr. Aileen O’Donoghue, astronomer with University and the Adirondack Sky Center and Observatory, checked in with NCPR to guide us through what we'll see.

It rapidly zooms into the morning sky, reaching an angular distance of 15 degrees from the sun by month's end. Meanwhile, glowing brilliantly, well up in the southern and western sky is Jupiter.
