The conspicuous "W" of the constellation Cassiopeia and Andromeda reach their highest positions in the midnight sky of October. Prominent Orion has risen at the eastern horizon already. Ursa Major is still very low at the northern horizon. Planet Jupiter will be at its brightest in October 2011, since it is closest to the earth. It can be found easily as the brightest star like object in the sky and is located in the constellation of Aries, south of Andromeda. Planet Mars is rising just after midnight and can be seen in the constellation of Cancer.
