Tonight's sky: Saturday, October 31

Here's what's up tonight, worked out for Central Florida, where we're based. The Moon, planets, launches and space weather are much the same across the US. Darkness times and satellite passes are local, so check your own city at https://wthwasthat.com/tonight

Darkness: Sunset is at 6:41 PM. It's dark enough to spot satellites by 7:05 PM and fully dark by 8:00 PM.

Moon: Last quarter, 60% lit, rising in the east at 12:02 AM.

Planets after dark: Saturn in the east (steady and slightly golden).

Satellite passes over Orlando: No space station passes in view tonight. Fainter ones you can catch from a dark spot: the Hubble Space Telescope at 8:10 PM, up to 88°, west to east. A spent rocket stage (CZ-8A R/B) at 8:41 PM, up to 86°, northwest to southeast. A satellite (INTERCOSMOS 25) at 9:18 PM, up to 87°, north to south.

Starlink train: A line of about 10 satellites from a recent launch passes at 8:25 PM. If you see a silent row of lights, that's it.

Launches: Nothing scheduled in the next 24 hours.

Aurora: Quiet (Kp 2.7), so only the far north has a chance.

Meteor showers: Orionids and Taurids. Best away from city lights.
