The Night Sky for the Week of 10-27-24

As Halloween nears, Arcturus becomes "the Ghost of Summer Suns," marking the Sun's position in June and July. On Saturday, find Altair and Vega in the southwest, with Delphinus and Sagitta above. Sunday leads you to Draco's nose. Tarazed, an orange giant, sits near Altair on Monday. Tuesday is a good day to spot the Triangulum Galaxy (M33), while Wednesday shows Pegasus flat in the south. Halloween night is moonless, with Venus, Saturn, and Jupiter shining brightly. Watch for Taurid meteors, too. On Saturday, look for a new moon at 8:47 a.m. Remember to set your clocks back an hour on Sunday for the end of daylight saving time! https://skyandtelescope.org/astronomy-news/observing-news/this-weeks-sky-at-a-glance-october-25-november-3/
