  1. November 2026 Sky Features Supermoon and Mars-Jupiter Conjunction

    The November 2026 night sky features a supermoon, three meteor showers, and a rare conjunction of Mars and Jupiter. The supermoon reaches its full phase at 9:53 a.m. ET on November 24. Mars and Jupiter will appear as a double star, passing within 1.2 degrees of each other before dawn on November 15 and 16. Additional events include the Moon passing Jupiter and Mars on November 2 and an occultation of the star Regulus by the Moon in the early hours of November 3.

    Why it matters

    Planetary conjunctions occur when celestial bodies align from Earth's perspective, creating the appearance of proximity. Supermoons happen when a full moon coincides with the moon's closest approach to Earth. These events provide opportunities for observers to view multiple bright objects in a single field of view.
