What's Up: October 2022 | Skywatching Tips from NASA

What are some skywatching highlights in the northern hemisphere for October 2022? 

Enjoy giant planets Jupiter and Saturn all night throughout the month. Then watch as Mars begins its retrograde motion, moving westward each night instead of eastward, for the next few months. Finally, check out the Orionid meteors overnight on Oct. 20, 2022.
