00:00Jupiter disappeared behind the moon for approximately one hour before emerging on the other side.
00:05And that disappearing act was only October's opening trick.
00:09NASA, the U.S. space agency, has highlighted several celestial events throughout the month.
00:14The moon concealed Jupiter before dawn on October 6th, across much of North America.
00:19Meanwhile, the draconid meteor shower peaks Thursday evening into Friday's early hours.
00:25With little moonlight interfering, even faint shooting stars can stand out.
00:29But this dragon-named shower generally produces only a few meteors each hour.
00:34Then, October 24th brings the Orionids, a meteor shower linked to Halley's Comet.
00:39In suburban locations, viewers may spot approximately three to six meteors per hour.
00:45But moonlight makes dimmer meteors harder to see, with conditions expected to improve later.
00:50Finally, October 26th brings the full Hunter's Moon, named for traditional autumn hunting.
00:56And by Halloween, that planet-hiding moon still brightens evenings with a softer glow.
