October Stargazing: A supermoon, new comet, and a whole lot of meteors
Comet C/2025 A6 (Lemmon) was only discovered in January 2025. Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. Stargazers will be happy to know that October will see the cosmos compensating for a couple of relatively lean months.There will be a whole bunch of celestial bodies to see over the next month, including the year's largest and brightest full moon, the arrival of a brand new comet, two meteor showers and a good chance to see our solar system's favorite big fella in all his glory. October's full moon finds our closest celestial companion at its perigee, i.e. the point at which it's closest to the Earth. This means that this month's full moon will be [drum roll] a supermoon!
