A closer look at “Medusa's Eye, Halloween Fireballs and More: 5 Spooky Skywatching Targets This October”, exactly as the source publishes it. As Halloween approaches, the night sky offers its own set of eerie sights for stargazers. From the 'Medusa's Eye' — a star that appears to wink like a mythical monster — to the Taurid meteor shower's 'Halloween fireballs,' there are plenty of celestial phenomena to spot without a telescope. The Medusa's Eye, officially known as Algol in the constellation Perseus, is a variable star that dims and brightens every few days, making it a perfect spooky season target.
Meanwhile, the Taurid meteors, peaking in late October and early November, are known for producing bright, slow-moving fireballs that can light up the night. Other highlights include the Pleiades star cluster, sometimes associated with ghostly legends, and the constellation Cassiopeia, which resembles a celestial 'W' and is linked to a vain queen in Greek mythology.
