E.70 - The October Dark Sky Challege

🌌 How many can you find?

October 10 brings us a New Moon and one of the darkest evenings of the month. That makes it the perfect night to step outside and explore the sky.

This month's Backyard Astronomer is a challenge: start with the Summer Triangle, Great Square of Pegasus and the Teapot, then follow the Milky Way, find the Big Dipper and Andromeda Galaxy, and work your way to Saturn, Titan, Neptune and the Pleiades.

No expensive equipment required. Just your eyes, a dark sky, and a little curiosity. Binoculars, a telescope and SkySafari can take you even farther.

So grab a chair, turn off the lights and see how many you can check off.

Clear skies and happy viewing! 🔭✨
