Crescent moon phases during the peak of meteor showers will mean a darker night sky perfect for stargazing.

October is a star-studded month with two meteor showers, winter constellations and a good chance to see a trio of green comets.

The best sights in the September sky will be planets, including Saturn and Venus.

NYC's summer stargazing seasons begins with meteor showers and Pedro Pascal.

The long, cold nights make for great stargazing opportunities.

Other highlights include great views of the planets and a chance to safely view solar flares.

Comet C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan-ATLAS) will reach its closest distance to Earth on Oct. 12.

The most visible of those planets is Venus, which will be the brightest object in the evening, second only to the moon.

The Amateur Astronomers Association and the parks department had hoped to open the facility in Jerome Park in the Bronx this spring.

Use telescopes or binoculars with solar lenses, according to the experts.
