🌌 October 2025 Sky Highlights – Look Up This Month!
Get ready for a spectacular month in the night sky! October brings not one, but two meteor showers, plus two beautiful lunar encounters you won’t want to miss. Here’s what to watch for 👇
🌠 October 8 – Draconid Meteor Shower
The first meteor shower of the month peaks early! Best viewed in the evening hours — look toward the northern sky near the constellation Draco. Draconids are slow but often bright, sometimes producing short bursts of activity.
🌕 October 10 – Moon Meets the Pleiades
The Moon passes close to the Pleiades star cluster — also called the “Seven Sisters.” A stunning sight through binoculars or even with the naked eye in the eastern sky after sunset.
🌙 October 19 – Moon Meets Venus
Watch the delicate crescent Moon pair with dazzling Venus just after sunset in the west. This brilliant duo will shine beautifully in twilight hues.
💫 October 21–22 – Orionid Meteor Shower Peak
Don’t miss one of the most famous annual meteor showers! The Orionids radiate from Orion’s shoulder and can produce up to 20 meteors per hour. Best seen after midnight under a dark sky.
✨ Tip:
Find a spot away from city lights, let your eyes adjust for 15–20 minutes, and enjoy the show nature puts on above us.
