October is the month in which nature dresses in the warm tones of the foliage of robust trees, giving us extraordinary landscapes. However, the moon also adds to illuminate the cold nights of autumn, giving us the most beautiful shows of the year.
From the first full moon of autumn, nicknamed the “hunter’s full moon”, to an Orionid meteor shower that will give us the sight of shooting stars, here we tell you all the events in the October sky that you should not miss.
Full Moon: October 9
The absolute star of the night show is still our natural satellite. On October 9, in fact, the first full moon of autumn will flood our nights with light.
Rebaptized by the Native Americans as “full moon of the hunter”, its presence was feared for centuries, precisely because its arrival meant the last hunt before the arrival of the cold and severe winter.
Today, its presence, far from frightening us, causes us fascination, since it offers us a truly magnificent spectacle, since the full moon in autumn is characterized by intense light and enchanting orange tones.
Saturn will be appreciated next to the moon: October 14
The sixth planet of the solar system will be visible in the sky throughout the month of October. Observers can see it moving west with the stars, forming a triangle with the bright star Fomalhaut. However, Saturn will peak next to the moon on October 14.
Last Quarter: October 17
The last quarter is a phase in which the surface of the moon visible from our planet is reduced. In this phase, our natural satellite is visible during the early morning and the morning. The surface that can be observed passes, in the period, from 65 to 35 percent.
Orionid Meteor Shower: October 21
A night of wishes to mark on the agenda this month is the one that will fall between October 21 and 22. The show will be replicated due to the arrival of the Orionids, fragments of Halley’s Comet, which will arrive in our sky in the third week of October.
New Moon: October 27
To cap off the best month of celestial events, a new moon will peak on October 27.
When is the next full moon?
Our 365-day Gregorian calendar has enough room for 13 full moons since the lunar calendar has 12 full moons every 354 days. However, that won’t happen in 2022. The next full moon, called the “beaver moon,” will peak on November 8.
