Stargazers across the western United States will experience a notably busy night sky this month, with brighter displays and more frequent fireball sightings. The surge stems from a combination of a supermoon, an especially close planetary conjunction, and several overlapping meteor showers.
The Los Angeles Times notes the supermoon and fireballs, while the Huerfano World Journal labels the planetary alignment as the year’s most significant. Colorado residents can expect the same “can’t miss” spectacle, according to SteamboatToday.com, which lists multiple meteor showers alongside the supermoon in November.
WJHL’s Star Watch guide adds that darker skies will enhance visibility of these events throughout the week.
