"November's Celestial Spectacles: Jupiter, Meteor Showers, and More in NYC Skies"

In November, sky watchers in New York City can enjoy the sight of a bright Jupiter, the Taurids and Leonids meteor showers, and the peak settings of the Perseus family of constellations. Jupiter will be at its closest point to Earth on November 1-2 and fully illuminated on November 2. The Taurids meteor shower will peak on November 5-6, followed by the Leonids meteor shower on November 17-18. Jupiter's four largest moons, known as the Galilean moons, will be visible alongside the planet. Sky watchers can also locate constellations by using the Big Dipper as a guide.
