What’s Up in October 2022 Skywatching Tips from NASA

Last Updated on October 12, 2022 by Solar System Ambassador Pam Roller

Here’s an update from our local Solar System Ambassador Pam Roller:

Enjoy giant planets Jupiter and Saturn all night throughout the month. Then watch as Mars begins its retrograde motion, moving westward each night instead of eastward, for the next few months. Finally, check out the Orionid meteors overnight on Oct. 20.

The phases of the Moon, monthly highlights, daily skywatching guide, and additional resources are also included.

The video can be downloaded and there are transcripts in English and in Spanish.
