1. Opposition of Jupiter

On November 3, Jupiter is at its closest point to Earth and is fully illuminated by the Sun.

This phenomenon makes Jupiter brighter and visible throughout the night and is the best time to see and photograph Jupiter and its moons.

2. Taurid Meteor Shower

The Taurids are small meteor showers that last a long time and produce about 5-10 meteors per hour.

This meteor shower was produced by dust grains left behind by Asteroid 2004 TG10 and debris left by Comet 2P Encke.

The peak of this meteor shower occurs on the evening of November 4 and the morning of November 5.
