High-resolution observations from the Virtual Telescope Project on November 13, 2025, revealed multiple fragments and debris structures in the inner coma of comet C/2025 K1 (ATLAS), confirming a post-perihelion breakup.
The Beaver supermoon, the largest full Moon of 2025, will rise on November 5, 2025, coinciding with the peak of the Southern Taurid meteor shower. The Virtual Telescope Project will broadcast the moon live from Manciano, Italy, beginning at 19:00 UTC.
A newly discovered asteroid designated 2025 UC11 flew past Earth at a distance of 0.017 lunar distances (0.00004 AU / 6 599 km / 4 101 miles) at 12:11 UTC on October 30, 2025. The object was first detected seven hours earlier by the JPL SynTrack Robotic Telescope in Auberry, California.
A bright lunar impact flash was recorded on the night side of the first-quarter Moon at 11:33 UTC on October 30, 2025. The flash occurred east of Gassendi crater at latitude –16°, longitude 324°.
The South Australian Museum is investigating reports of a meteorite striking a Tesla Model Y north of Port Germein, South Australia, on October 19, 2025, in what may be the first confirmed meteorite impact on a moving vehicle worldwide.
Interstellar object 3I/ATLAS brightened sharply and turned bluer as it passed perihelion on October 29 2025, according to a new preprint by Q. Zhang and K. Dattams and commentary by astrophysicist Avi Loeb.
Interstellar object 3I/ATLAS (C/2025 N1 ATLAS) will reach its perihelion distance of about 1.36 AU from the Sun on October 29, 2025, marking the midpoint of its one-time passage through the Solar System. The hyperbolic object will be unobservable from Earth during the event but will later pass within 97 million km (60 million miles) of Venus and 54 million km (34 million miles) of Jupiter on its way out of the system.
A bright green bolide, a natural meteoroid entering Earth’s atmosphere, illuminated the skies over Moscow, Russia, at around 00:30 UTC on October 27, 2025. The object produced several bright flashes and visible fragmentation as it moved across the sky, leaving a persistent trail. Analysis of multiple videos confirms its natural origin, distinguishing it from any satellite or rocket re-entry.
A smoldering carbon-composite object discovered near Newman, Western Australia, on October 18, 2025, is believed to be part of a Chinese Jielong 3 rocket that re-entered Earth’s atmosphere.
Comet C/2025 A6 (Lemmon) will make its closest approach to Earth at a distance of 0.596 AU (about 89 million km / 55 million miles) on October 21, 2025, before reaching perihelion on November 8 at 0.529 AU (79 million km) from the Sun.
