From October 23 to November 1, the evening and pre-dawn skies feature dynamic planetary alignments and seasonal markers. Saturn appears near the Moon at dusk, shifting position nightly, while the Big Dipper hovers low in the north-northwest. Pre-dawn skies showcase a tightening line of Mars, Jupiter, and Regulus. Key events include a full Moon on October 25, the Moon passing through the Pleiades on October 27, and Halloween's moonless evening—Capella, Aldebaran, and the Pleiades herald cooler months ahead. Mercury and Venus remain hidden, while Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, Uranus, and Neptune offer telescopic opportunities and changing visual arrangements. https://skyandtelescope.org/astronomy-news/observing-news/this-weeks-sky-at-a-glance-october-23-november-1/
