The supermun captures the sky, the dragon’s shower looks through the shower, and the Orionid meteor shower shines brightly.

- October 21
What happened in October? The supermun leads to possession, the dragon meteorian shower looks through the night sky.
On the evening of October 6, look and be amazed, because the full moon is larger and brighter, because it is a supermun!
This evening, the moon may seem about 30% brighter and up to 14% more than a typical full moon. But why?
Supermines happen when the new moon or full moon coincides with the “Perigeum”, which occurs when the moon is in the nearest to the ground all a month.
So this is an exceptionally close full moon! What explains his impressive appearance.
And what time – while Supermun appears on October 6, just a couple of days ago, October 4 “International Observation of the Moon”!
This is an annual, worldwide event when the moon enthusiasts gather together to enjoy our natural companion. You can visit or arrange a party, view the moon, or just watch the moon, wherever you are.
So look up and celebrate the moon with people around the world!
The supermun will light the sky on October 6, but if you are lucky in some dark sky between October 6 and 10, you can testify the first of two October meteor showers – dragonids!
The dragon meteor shower comes from garbage, watching the 21p Giacobini-Zinner comet burning in the Earth's atmosphere
These meteors come from the nearby head of the Dragon Dragon constellation in the northern sky, and a shower can produce up to 10 meteors per hour!
The peak of the Dragonites is around October 8th, but if you do not see them, you can always blame a bright supermun and wait a few weeks to the next meteor shower – Orionids!
The Orionid meteorite shower, which reached the maximum on October 21, should hold an impressive show, shooting about 20 meteors at an hour in the night sky.
This meteor shower occurs when the Earth travels along the garbage, which is drawn behind the Comet Galley, and it burns in our atmosphere.
The full duration of the meteor shower extends from September 26 to November 22, but your best choice to see Meteors, October 21 until midnight until about 2 a.m.
This is due to the fact that this night is not only the peak of the soul, but also the October new moon, that is, the moon will be between the earth and the sun, which makes it dark and invisible to us.
With a silent sky, you are much more likely to catch a fire ball that runs all night.
So find a dark place after the sun is installed, look at the southeastern sky (if you are in the northern hemisphere) and in the north -east (if you are in the southern hemisphere) and enjoy!
It seems that ameteors from Orionid come from the direction of the constellation Orion, but you can catch them all over the sky.
Here are the phases of the moon for October.

I am a year from the NASA reactive laboratory for a year, and this is what happened this month.
