November Night Sky UK Guide: Meteor Showers, Planetary Alignments and Lunar Highlights
November rewards patience. The evenings arrive early, the air is often crisp, and some of the year’s most characterful sky events unfold above the UK while most people are indoors with the curtains shut. This month brings slow, bright Taurid meteors, the famous Leonids, a useful run of dark-sky nights around the New Moon, and a string of planets across the night sky.

October Night Sky UK Viewing Tips and What to Look Out For
October is one of the best months to look up from the UK. The nights grow longer, the air often turns sharper, and the sky starts to swap summer’s bright triangle for autumn galaxies, winter constellations and some of the year’s most enjoyable meteor showers. This guide uses October 2026 dates and UK local time. Times are rounded, so treat them as a practical viewing guide rather than a navigation chart. The UK stays on BST until 02:00 on Sunday 25 October, then moves to GMT.
