What’s Up in the October 2025 Skies

October is one of the best months of the year for stargazing! In this episode we explore everything happening in the skies this month:

Mercury, Mars, and the Moon make for some beautiful conjunctions in the evening sky. Venus still dominates the mornings, while Jupiter and Saturn put on steady shows all night. 

October brings the chance to spot two comets, plus, the Orionid meteor shower peaks under dark skies with no Moon interference.

Then we’ll take a close-up look at Petavius Crater, one of the Moon’s most spectacular impact sites,  and then we dive into Pegasus exploring some of its bright stars, to a standout globular cluster to several galaxy groups and faint, and unique planetary nebula to round out the tour. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned stargazer, there’s something here for everyone this month.

If you catch a glimpse of the comets, Orionid meteors, or any of the features we’ve talked about, share your observations with us in the AstroGuy Podcast Facebook Group or tag us on social media.
