SUMMARY:2026 OH3 passes at 12.3 lunar distances
DESCRIPTION:2026 OH3\, somewhere between 142 m and 318 m across depending o
 n how dark its surface is\, makes its closest approach to Earth at 12.3 lu
 nar distances (4.7 million km)\, moving past at 20.17 km/s. At magnitude 2
 2.0 it is far below anything an amateur telescope reaches — this one is 
 a fact rather than a sight. A pass at this range is ordinary rather than a
 larming — it is the reason the object is tracked\, not a reason to worry
  about it.\n\nhttps://spacecatalog.org/calendar#2026-09

SUMMARY:The Moon 29′ from Venus

 held at arm's length covers both at once\, and a pair of binoculars holds 
 them in one field. Look after sunset\; the Moon moves its own width every 
 hour\, so the gap looks noticeably different either side of tonight.\n\nht

DESCRIPTION:The Earth crosses the densest part of a dust trail left by 21P/
 Giacobini-Zinner\, and the debris burns up at 20 km/s. Under a genuinely d
 ark sky with the radiant overhead this is worth about 5 meteors an hour 
 — a real sky and a real radiant altitude will give fewer\, and a bright 
 moon fewer still. Meteors appear all over the sky\; they only trace back t
 o Draco\, which is where to point a camera and not where to stare. It is u
 sually almost nothing\, and about once a generation a storm of thousands a
 n hour\; the slowest meteors of any shower\, and the only major one best w
 atched in the evening rather than after midnight.\n\nhttps://spacecatalog.

DESCRIPTION:The Earth crosses the densest part of a dust trail left by 2P/E

  the radiant overhead this is worth about 5 meteors an hour — a real sky
  and a real radiant altitude will give fewer\, and a bright moon fewer sti
 ll. Meteors appear all over the sky\; they only trace back to Cetus\, whic
 h is where to point a camera and not where to stare. It is ten weeks of ac
 tivity at a handful an hour\, made worth watching by the fireballs — slo
 w\, orange and bright enough to cast a shadow. The radiant drifts right ac
 ross the sky over those weeks\, from Cetus in September into Taurus in Nov
 ember\, so the shower is named for where it ends up rather than where it i
 s on any one night.\n\nhttps://spacecatalog.org/calendar#2026-10

  with the radiant overhead this is worth about 150 meteors an hour — a r

 i\, which is where to point a camera and not where to stare. It is the ric

  an asteroid rather than a comet\, the Quadrantids being the other\; mediu
 m-speed\, often yellow\, and active from mid-evening because the radiant r

SUMMARY:Lyrids at maximum
DESCRIPTION:The Earth crosses the densest part of a dust trail left by C/18
 61 G1 (Thatcher)\, and the debris burns up at 49 km/s. Under a genuinely d
 ark sky with the radiant overhead this is worth about 18 meteors an hour 
 — a real sky and a real radiant altitude will give fewer\, and a bright 
 moon fewer still. Meteors appear all over the sky\; they only trace back t
 o Hercules\, close to Vega\, which is where to point a camera and not wher
 e to stare. It is the oldest shower on record\, watched from China in 687 
 BC\, and still capable of a brief outburst nobody predicted.\n\nhttps://sp

DESCRIPTION:The Earth crosses the densest part of a dust trail left by 1P/H
 alley\, and the debris burns up at 66 km/s. Under a genuinely dark sky wit
 h the radiant overhead this is worth about 50 meteors an hour — a real s
 ky and a real radiant altitude will give fewer\, and a bright moon fewer s
 till. Meteors appear all over the sky\; they only trace back to Aquarius\,
  which is where to point a camera and not where to stare. It is dust from 
 Halley's Comet\, hitting the atmosphere almost head-on and leaving glowing
  trains that hang for seconds\; much better from the southern hemisphere\,
  where the radiant climbs before dawn instead of skimming the horizon.\n\n
