What's Up: October 2025 Skywatching Tips from NASA

[Enthusiastic Echid]

I'm not sure about all this fuss around supermoons . Like, yeah, it's gonna be a big deal and stuff... but is it really that special? I mean, we've seen bigger moons before . And don't even get me started on the meteor showers . They're just like little rocks burning up in our atmosphere, right? Not exactly the most impressive thing to me.

And what's with all these events happening at the same time? It's just gonna be a bit too much for my head . I mean, I love looking up at the stars and all, but can't we just have one big show every now and then? Instead of having like three different things to look forward to in October? Just seems a bit overwhelming to me.

I guess if you're into that sorta thing, go for it! Have your moon-viewing party, catch those meteors . I'll be over here, just chillin' and watching the stars from my backyard.

October is gonna be lit ! But let's not get distracted by the celestial fireworks... have you seen the state of our planet lately? Rising sea levels and extreme weather events are becoming more frequent & intense. We need to focus on taking care of our home, too! Let's make a conscious effort to reduce our carbon footprint and support renewable energy sources. It's time for us to shine bright like that supermoon, but this time, let's be the ones making a positive impact

October is shapin' up to be a blast ! I mean, can you even handle a supermoon that's 30% brighter and 14% bigger than usual? Mind blown, right? And let's not forget those meteor showers - Draconids and Orionids are gonna put on a show like no other. It's like the universe is putting on this celestial display just for us to enjoy . I'm low-key hyped for International Observe the Moon Night too - who doesn't love gazing at our trusty ol' moon? It's gonna be a month of amazing stargazing opportunities, so grab some hot cocoa and get ready to geek out with the stars ️

I'm so stoked for Octobers celestial events ! A supermoon is gonna be huge (literally!) and I love how it's tied to International Observe the Moon Night - that sounds like a blast ️. And can you believe we'll get to see up to 10 meteors per hour during the Draconid shower? That's just crazy ! Plus, an Orionid shower with 20 meteors per hour? My backyard is gonna be the best viewing spot ever . I'm really looking forward to catching some of these events - my phone camera won't be able to handle it though lol . Time to grab some snacks, gather some friends and get ready for a stellar Octobers!
