🌔 An orange eye. A red supergiant. And the Moon… completing the triangle.⁠ ⁠ On the night of October 29–30, look for a spooky trio: the waning gibbous Moon, Aldebaran — the fiery eye of Taurus — and Betelgeuse, the orange-red star on Orion’s shoulder. Halloween is getting an early start. 👻⁠ ⁠ Together, they’ll form a large triangle in the sky. From some locations, the Moon will appear almost equally far from both stars. The shape depends on where you are and when you look.⁠ ⁠ 🔭 No telescope needed — all three are bright enough to spot from a city under clear skies. Look from late evening on October 29 through the predawn hours of October 30, depending on your location.⁠ ⁠ Open Star Walk 2 to find the trio in your sky. And if you whisper “Betelgeuse” three times… you’re on your own. 😉⁠ ⁠ #StarWalk #Moon #Stargazing #Halloween2026

Mars, Jupiter & the Beehive Cluster line up ✨ On Oct 26–27, the trio will form an almost straight line across the sky, with Mars nearly halfway between Jupiter and the Beehive Cluster. 🌟 Jupiter: mag −1.9 🔴 Mars: mag 0.9 ✨ Beehive Cluster: faint and diffuse, so binoculars will help — especially with the nearly Full Moon nearby. The lineup spans about 16° and is best seen late at night and before dawn on Oct 27. Learn how to spot Jupiter in this noble company: starwalk.space/news/jupiter-…
