Meteor showers, planets and the Milky Way's core: October 2026 sky events
Lluvias de meteoros, planetas y el núcleo de la Vía Láctea: eventos astronómicos de octubre de 2026
Meteor showers, planets and the core of the Milky Way will be among the highlights for October 2026 skywatchers. Saturn reaches opposition on Sunday, October 4, making the ringed planet especially bright, a point noted in Astronomy.com's 'The Sky Today.' NASA's 'What's Up: October 2026 Skywatching Tips' (NASA Science .gov) and Sky & Telescope's 'This Week's Sky at a Glance, October 2–11' list multiple events to watch. Local coverage from KCCI and KCUR says Kansas City can see Saturn at its brightest this weekend and offers guidance on how to find it. The October 2–11 period includes meteor showers, visible planets and opportunities to view toward the Milky Way's core for amateur observers.
