Tour the stars and planets that you’ll see overhead during October. This month the spotlight is on Saturn, which can be seen all night, and a fantastic occultation of Jupiter by the Moon. So grab your curiosity, and come along on this month’s Sky Tour.

What a way to close out the season! A sold-out crowd filled the 100-inch dome for our final concerts of 2026, ending the afternoon on their feet, cheering the piano quartets. Thank you to our musicians, audiences & Artistic Director Cécilia Tsan. See you in the dome in 2027!

On Oct. 5, 1923, Edwin Hubble began the night at Mount Wilson’s 100-inch telescope that helped reveal a universe beyond the Milky Way. 103 years later, Rep. @RepJudyChu introduced a resolution designating Oct. 5 as National Beyond the Milky Way Day.

Cousin Pamela - The Bradbury Refractor

Medford, New Jersey. 2 AM. Two teenagers driving home from a late movie spot a strobe light above their car. They pull over. A dark triangle hangs in total silence above the trees.

Then it moves. It follows them down the road at tree-line height, keeping pace. Half a mile. It passes directly overhead. By the time they pull into the driveway, it's already hovering above the house. They run inside. The car alarm starts screaming in the garage.

This is one of ten cases I examine, from five countries. The reconstructions are AI illustrations based on the accounts.

The question isn't who they are. It's what they're doing.
