What's Up for October 2023? | Skywatching Tips from NASA | JPL

What are the skywatching highlights for the Earth's northern and southern hemispheres in October 2023? A "ring of fire" solar eclipse across the Americas on Oct. 14 is this month's top highlight! Plus the Moon, Jupiter, Saturn, and Venus strike some lovely poses for stargazers and planet watchers to enjoy.

A map developed using data from a variety of NASA sources shows both eclipse paths as dark bands. Outside those paths, yellow and purple lines show how much of the Sun will become blocked by the Moon during the partial eclipses.

Not in the path of the eclipse? Watch with NASA from anywhere in the world. NASA will provide live broadcast coverage on Oct. 14, 2023, from 11:30 a.m. to 1:15 p.m. EDT (1530-1715 UTC) on NASA TV, NASA.gov and the NASA app.
