Don't miss: Watch Saturn shine and Halley’s Comet debris streak across the sky
This month offers a triple threat for skywatchers with Saturn at its brightest point in opposition, meteors from Halley's Comet visible during peak Orionid activity, and the Moon passing by the Pleiades star cluster. The Moon may block some views of the meteor display. Clear skies before dawn are recommended.
Why it's good news: It provides opportunities to observe and appreciate beautiful celestial events in our own backyard.
