Please consider using an alternative browser - especially if you are on Windows XP which only supports the outdated Internet Explorer 8 browser - such as Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome which do have support for these web standards. As well as not supporting modern features and web standards, old versions of browsers - especially Internet Explorer - can expose your computer to security risks. The Browse Happy website has a list of the latest versions of all major browsers, including Internet Explorer (but remember Windows XP only supports up to IE8!)
If updating/changing your browser is not possible, do not panic - all of the LAS website is still available to you and we are working to make the layout compatible with outdated browsers.

THE PLANETS DURING NOVEMBER
MERCURY
Is at its greatest Eastern elongation on the 28th, but is poorly placed for observations from Liverpool.
VENUS
The evening star can be found low down in the South-Western sky about one hour after Sunset.
MARS
Can be found within the stars of Sagittarius Close-by Venus on the night of 3rd/4th November.
JUPITER
Can be found low down in the South Western sky. But on the 11th is 4° South of Moon.
SATURN
At 01hrs:26mins GMT on the 12th the ringed planet undergoes a lunar occultation. A very rare event and well worth a look, with both planet and Moon high above the horizon.
