Samil Cabrera on Instagram: "Tonight’s full Harvest Supermoon  This moon is the first of three back-to-back supermoons this year. A supermoon happens when the moon reaches perigee, or its nearest point to our planet, making it appear larger and fuller. I captured this image at 11:00 p.m. ET, when the Moon was 100% illuminated from my location. #harvestmoon #supermoon #fullmoon #stars #space #viralreel #sonyalpha"

Museum of Science on Instagram: "Heads up, skywatchers: the Taurid Meteor Shower is active now through December 10! 🔭 With peak nights on November 4–5 and 11–12, this year could bring a rare “fireball swarm”. These would be extra-bright meteors from two overlapping streams, the Northern and Southern Taurids. Just look up from dark skies, and you could catch dazzling fireballs lighting up the night. #Taurids #MeteorShower #Astronomy #SkyWatch #Space"

New Scientist on Instagram: "Don't miss the Orionid meteor shower next week 💫⁠ ⁠ The Orionids meteor shower, peaking on October 21, 2025, is a spectacular celestial event caused by debris from Halley's Comet, offering a chance to see 10 to 20 meteors per hour under ideal conditions. This year the peak of meteor shower coincides with a new moon so it'll be easier to see it streak across the night sky. ⁠ ⁠ Tap the link in bio to learn more ⁠ ⁠ #meteorshower #skywatch #stargaxzing #orionids #space
