On Sunday morning as dawn unfolds, fishermen who are walking the beach early will see an impressive assembly of stars, planets and the waning crescent moon in the southeastern sky.

Mornings this month offer a stellar planetary show. Three bright planets fill the eastern sky.

Three years have passed since the publication of the book, The Mortal Sea, but its impact continues. The 378-page history of the dramatic decline of fish in the western Atlantic took 10 years of investigative work to write.

If the weather is clear, Sunday night will open with a brilliant harvest full moon rising over Chappaquiddick. But then the moon will fade as Vineyard skywatchers experience a lunar eclipse. The show begins just after 10 p.m.

The brilliant planet Venus is high in the southeastern sky before sunrise. You don’t have to get up too early to see it.

The crescent moon appears near the ringed planet Saturn Friday low in the southern sky.
