Okay, the moon will be at Perigee, its closest to the Earth in October. On the 8th, it will be 223,581 miles from Earth. The moon will be at Apogee, its farthest point away from the Earth in October. On the 23rd, it will be 222,553 miles from Earth. Alright, the one reason I like to give Perigees and Apogees for the moon is usually we have super moons, that's when the moon is closest to the Earth and in a full phase. We don't have, well let's see, we have one that's fairly close. Perigees on the 8th, we have a full moon on the 6th. So the moon will appear to be a little bit bigger and a little bit brighter. Full moon not in the realm of super moon category, but close. So look out for that Harvest Moon coming up on the 6th. Alright, planetary highlights for October. October's longer nights bring two transits of Titan across Saturn while Io and Europa tangle together across Jupiter three times. Mercury and Mars make a brief evening appearance and Venus dies. Orionate meteor shower occurs during the dark of the moon. This is from Astronomy Magazine October 2025, page 28. Along with the individual planets, Mercury will be at greatest eastern elongation, about 24 degrees east of the Sun, which actually means it's about as high as it's going to get towards the west, and that will be on the 29th through the end of August. Mercury is about 713 pm on the 1st, about 655 pm by month 10. Mercury is visible about 30 minutes after sunset just above the western horizon. Mercury moves from the constellation of Virgo into Scorpius, shining at magnitude minus 0.1 on the 31st.
