Michigan ranks 10th in the U.S. for fireball sightings—with 25 reports in 2025—thanks to Great Lakes darkness and three designated Dark Sky Parks boosting visibility.
The October night sky will feature a full Harvest Moon, two meteor showers, Mars' closest approach of the year, and a full Halloween Hunter’s Blue Moon.
This month's full moon occurs on Monday, June 17 at 4:31 a.m. EDT, but the moon will appear full the night before and after its peak to the casual observer, making for an extra special night show for Father's Day.
