Celestial Highlights: Moon and Mars Dazzle in November Skies
TL;DR Summary
This week offers several celestial events for stargazers in the northern hemisphere. The Leonid meteor shower peaks on November 18, though visibility may be hindered by the moon's brightness. On November 19, the moon will be in the constellation Gemini, and on November 20, it will be in conjunction with Mars in Cancer. The Andromeda Galaxy is visible throughout the week, especially with the moon rising late. A last quarter moon on November 23 will provide darker skies for better stargazing.
