Halloween
31 October 2026 — I'm winking at you from my pumpkin! Tonight the sky glows a little brighter.
Halloween is celebrated on 31 October, the eve of All Saints' Day (1 November). Its name comes from the old English phrase All Hallows' Eve, the evening before that Christian feast. It is often linked to the Celtic festival of Samhain, which marked the end of summer and the harvest, although scholars still discuss how direct that link is. Today Halloween is most popular in the United States, Canada, Ireland and the United Kingdom. Children dress up in costumes and go from door to door for sweets, saying trick or treat. Carved pumpkins lit by a candle come from the Irish and Scottish custom of hollowing out turnips and beets; in America pumpkins took their place. The holiday falls in the middle of autumn, when days are short and nights are long and good for stargazing. Tonight the sky is a lovely place for a stroll and a playful meeting with a glowing pumpkin lantern.
Flying across the sky: An ethereal, bluish-silver figure made of luminous dots and lines, like a constellation: a round pumpkin lantern with a winking face rolling across the sky
