Autumn brings longer nights to the northern hemisphere, offering more opportunities to get outside and look up at the night sky.
There is plenty to look out for over the coming months, from impressive meteor showers to dazzling star clusters.
The series of spectacles begins with the Pleiades as the autumn nights draw in.
It will be followed by the impressive Orionid meteor shower in late October, and a planetary parade, the Leonid meteor shower and a supermoon in November.

As the nights lengthen through autumn, one of the most recognisable star clusters in the night sky becomes increasingly prominent.
The Pleiades, also known as the Seven Sisters, is a cluster of young stars around 440 light years from Earth.
Despite its name, most people can see around six stars with the naked eye, although many more become visible through binoculars or a telescope.
Look towards the east during autumn evenings, where the Pleiades can be found in the constellation Taurus.
