Northern lights, Fomalhaut, and Harvest Moon: Skywatching events this week
If you're in northern Canada, Alaska, Greenland, or northern Scotland this week, get ready for some epic sky shows.
The Northern Lights are expected to light up the night thanks to post-equinox activity, while the bright Autumn Star Fomalhaut will hang out near Saturn on October 3.
And don't miss the Harvest Moon—it'll be at its fullest and brightest on October 6.
For the best experience, seek clear skies and low light pollution.
Tips for stargazing
For top views of Fomalhaut and the aurora borealis, head outside just after sunset and try to get away from city lights.
Both can be seen with your own eyes—no telescope needed!
If you're into photography, use your phone's night mode or a camera with long exposure to capture those colors.
Clear weather is key for all these events—so fingers crossed for cloudless nights!
