Then, set your sights beyond the solar system and take a late summertime road-trip of the constellations along the Milky Way.

The Hubble Space Telescope Science Institute provides another preview: Tonight’s Sky: September 2018 : 

In September, your binoculars will reveal the rusty surface of Mars, iconic rings of Saturn, the waxing Moon—and the comet Giacobini-Zinner, which passes through the constellation of Auriga. “Tonight’s Sky” is produced by HubbleSite.org, online home of the Hubble Space Telescope. This is a recurring show, and you can find more episodes—and other astronomy videos—at http://hubblesite.org/videos/science
