Tonight’s Sky: October 2017 Video Guide The northern hemisphere is treated to a view of Pegasus, Andromeda, and the Orionid Meteor Shower

In early October, Mars and Venus rise together in the eastern sky before dawn.

The two planets appear to converge on the morning of October 5th but slowly move apart as the month goes on.

No need to pine for Halley’s comet when the Orionid Meteor Shower is on display. Every October, Earth travels through the stream of debris left by the comet on its journey around the Sun.
