This month’s full moon has already taken place, but according to astronomers, a trio of planets will make prominent appearances in the night sky through the remainder of October, and a meteor shower will provide some additional spectacles for those with access to clear, dark skies.
Typically the planet Venus is the second-brightest object in the night sky, but this month that won’t be the case, according to experts at the Adler Planetarium, as Venus will stick close to the sun in October and will be impossible to see with the naked eye.
Fortunately for stargazers, three other planets will be in the sky during the evening and overnight hours, including Mars, which will be very prominent during October., Mars will rise between 9 and 10 p.m. for most of the month, and will rise in the east-northeast portion of the sky.
