The eclipse of the star Spica by Earth's satellite can be observed in the European part of Russia

In October, the Moon will cover planets and stars six times, including Neptune, Saturn, and the Pleiades cluster. Some of these events will be visible from Russia, according to the press service of the Moscow Planetarium.

At the beginning of the month, on October 7-8, the Moon will cover the star Antares, but this eclipse will only be visible from the island of Saint Helena and southern Namibia.

In the middle of the month, on October 14 and 15, eclipses of Saturn and Neptune by the Moon are expected, which can be seen in Southeast Asia, Africa, and Siberia.

Already on October 19-20, the Moon will cover the open star cluster Pleiades, and it will be observed by residents of Africa, Asia, and southern Siberia.

Another space event will occur on October 21 — the Moon will cover the star Elnath, but it will also not be seen in Russia, as it will only be visible in Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua.

The last lunar eclipse in October will take place on October 31 at 09:00 Moscow time, when Earth's satellite will cover the star Spica, and this event can be observed in the European part of Russia.
