3 NovemberNov 2026 01:59	Moon passes 0.1° from MarsThe Moon passes 0.1° from Mars — less than one Moon-width — close enough to take in at a glance, or to frame together in binoculars. Best seen around 05:44, 19° up in the north-east, with the Moon 41% lit.
3 NovemberNov 2026 13:19	Moon passes 0.1° from JupiterThe Moon passes 0.1° from Jupiter — less than one Moon-width — close enough to take in at a glance, or to frame together in binoculars. Best seen around 05:34, 18° up in the north-east, with the Moon 41% lit.
5 NovemberNov 2026 03:58	Mercury at inferior conjunctionMercury passes between Earth and the Sun and is lost in the glare; over the next week or two it moves from the evening sky into the morning sky.
17 NovemberNov 2026 22:00	Leonids peakDust from Comet Tempel-Tuttle: very fast meteors. The radiant only reaches 9° up in the north-east around 04:40, so expect at best about 2 an hour from here under a dark sky (ZHR 15). Some moonlight will hide the fainter meteors (dark-sky rating 1/5).
21 NovemberNov 2026 12:31	Mercury at greatest western elongationMercury is as far from the Sun as it gets on this swing (20°), the easiest time to find it in the morning sky: very low in the east before sunrise.
30 NovemberNov 2026 21:16	Moon passes 0.4° from JupiterThe Moon passes 0.4° from Jupiter — less than one Moon-width — close enough to take in at a glance, or to frame together in binoculars. Best seen around 05:01, 27° up in the north-east, with the Moon 57% lit.
1 DecemberDec 2026 05:29	Moon passes 2.2° from MarsThe Moon passes 2.2° from Mars — about 4 Moon-widths — close enough to take in at a glance, or to frame together in binoculars. Best seen around 04:59, 26° up in the north-east, with the Moon 57% lit.
7 DecemberDec 2026 22:00	Puppid-Velids peakA group of southern radiants in Puppis and Vela. The radiant is highest, 85° up in the east around 04:20, so expect at best about 10 an hour from here under a dark sky (ZHR 10). No moonlight to spoil it (dark-sky rating 4/5).
14 DecemberDec 2026 22:00	Geminids peakDust from the asteroid 3200 Phaethon, the richest shower of the year. The radiant only reaches 13° up in the north around 03:40, so expect at best about 35 an hour from here under a dark sky (ZHR 150). Little moonlight to spoil it (dark-sky rating 2/5).
22 DecemberDec 2026 09:50	December SolsticeThe longest day of the year: 15h 34m from sunrise to sunset, the noon Sun 69° up. Astronomical summer begins; New Zealand counts summer from 1 December.
