** What’s Up: November 2026 Skywatching Tips from NASA<\/strong> |\u00a0NASA JPL<\/a><\/p>\n

Meteor showers, a close pairing of Mars and Jupiter, a Voyager 1 milestone, and a November supermoon.<\/em><\/p>\n

The Southern Taurids peak around November 5, followed by the Northern Taurids around November 12. Both offer occasional bright fireballs, even though only a handful of meteors per hour are expected under ideal conditions.<\/em><\/p>\n

On November 15 and 16, look southeast before sunrise to see Jupiter and Mars appear just 1.2 degrees apart.<\/em><\/p>\n

The Leonid meteor shower offers another chance to catch shooting stars before dawn on November 17 and 18, after the Moon sets.<\/em><\/p>\n

NASA’s Voyager 1 spacecraft reaches a historic one light-day milestone. Join the Shine Bright for Voyager\u2019s Light-Day activation on November 17. Learn more at nasa.gov\/voyager. <\/em><\/p>\n

And on November 24, watch a full supermoon rise in the east around sunset, the first of three consecutive supermoons \u2013 in November, December, and January.<\/em><\/p>\n
