The Moon will be near its closest approach to the Earth and may look slightly larger and brighter than usual.  The supermoon effect will make the moon appear full for 3 nights.  The true full moon happens the night before but will appear identical in size on October 18.

The Orionid Meteor shower starts as early as October 2 and continues as late as November 7. Its peak night is October 22. If you have some astronomy gear (binoculars or telescopes) bring them along and join us.
