October 8: Draconid Meteor Shower Predicted PeakFall is meteor season, and early October will bring the first of the month’s two celestial spectaculars: the Draconid shower, sometimes called the Giacobinids. It’s never entirely clear when the next big Draconid storm will take place, which means that this particular meteor shower always makes for potentially exciting viewing. This month, though, our boy isn’t feeling shy.Jupiter will be visible all month, and will only get progressively brighter throughout October. October 21: Comet C/2025 A6 (Lemmon) Passes Close to the EarthIt’s been a while since we’ve had a decent comet sighting, but this month brings the arrival of Comet C/2025 A6, otherwise known as Comet Lemmon. October 21: Orionid Meteor Shower Predicted PeakOctober 21 is shaping up as a particularly good night to spend in the company of a telescope, because it’s also the predicted peak of the Orionids.
