The month of November will gradually move from fall into the winter season, spreading perfect weather in the night for all the skygazers. The month is full of celestial surprises from meteor shower peaks to stunning views of Jupiter and the famed Beaver’s moon.&nbsp;

The good news is that for most of the astronomical sightings in November, no special equipment will be required to observe the starry night sky. Still, for a better view, a good pair of binoculars and a telescope will enhance your experience.&nbsp;

So grab a comfy blanket and set of binoculars and get ready to experience all the upcoming celestial events in the month of November this year.&nbsp;

<h2>November’s astronomical events are a delight for skygazers</h2>

Nov 2-3: Jupiter at Opposition

Jupiter will hit opposition or will appear in its biggest and brightest state at 12:00 am EDT on November 3 and will be visible on the eastern horizon for skygazers in the Northern Hemisphere.

Nov 5-6: Southern Taurids Meteor Shower - Peak Window

The first meteor shower of the month is predicted to peak around November 5-6. Both South Taurids will produce about five meteors per hour and the scene will be amazing.

Nov 9: Moon and Venus Conjunction

The brightest planet of our solar system, Venus will shine more brilliantly this month. It will put on a show on the eastern horizon at 2:55 am EST. The moon will also pass in front of Venus, blocking it from view for some time.

Nov 11-13: Northern Taurids Meteor Shower - Peak Window

Due to the moon’s phases, the best chance for seeing the Northern Taurids this month is from November 11-13. Ideal viewing times will be around midnight because the moon will only be about 2 per cent full that night.

Nov 18: Leonids Meteor Shower - Peak Window

Leonids shower is predicted to peak on Nov 18. The best viewing time would be late on the night of Nov 17 until dawn on Nov 18. It is possible to see 10 to 15 Leonid meteors per hour under a moonless sky.

Nov 27: Full Beaver Moon

November’s full moon will reach peak illumination on November 27 at 4:16 am EST. The moon will also appear very full and close on the night of November 26.

NASA on Wednesday confirmed that its Lucy spacecraft successfully completed a flyby of asteroid Dinkinesh or Dinky, a tiny space rock in the main belt between Mars and Jupiter. With this, Lucy hit a milestone as it made its first flyby on Nov 1 after its launch in Oct 2021.&nbsp;

"Based on the information received, the team has determined that the spacecraft is in good health," NASA officials wrote in a blog post after the flyby occurred. "The team has commanded the spacecraft to start downlinking the data collected during the encounter."

<h2>NASA’s Lucy spacecraft made closest approach to asteroid Dinky</h2>

The Lucy mission of NASA is part of its ambitious endeavour to unravel the secrets of our solar system’s past. Lucy is only the beginning of the elaborate mission yet to be completed.&nbsp;

With Lucy, NASA will make a few flybys, relatively of nearby asteroids like Dinky. But the probe’s main goal is to fly by a few more distant Trojan asteroids orbiting the Sun alongside Jupiter. Scientists are interested in learning more about those Trojans because they're believed to be ancient relics of the solar system.

Lucy’s flyby of Dinky can be seen as a test run of a much bigger mission to be launched in future. The spacecraft came within 270 miles ($35 kilometres) of Dinkinesh, testing its instruments. Dinkinesh is just a half-mile (1 kilometre) across, making it the smallest of the space rocks on Lucy’s journey.

<h2>Lucy mission</h2>

NASA launched Lucy two years ago with a budget of $1 billion. The spacecraft is named after the 3.2 million-year-old skeletal remains of a human ancestor found in Ethiopia in the 1970s. Lucy will make its next flyby near an asteroid that is named after one of the fossils Lucy discovered- Donald Johanson (named after American paleoanthropologist Donald Johanson).

NASA’s Lucy mission is different from its other asteroid missions, like the Psyche mission. Lucy will not stop at any asteroids or collect any samples. It will take at least a week for the spacecraft to send back all its pictures and data from the flyby. Lucy will make more such flybys past ten different asteroids in the future.&nbsp;

India seems in good form with the best bowling and batting lineup. They are currently on the top of the points table with 12 points, after winning all their six matches. On the other hand, Sri Lanka is at no. 7 in the points table with only 4 points from two matches that they won in the tournament.&nbsp;

With Mohammed Shami in the team, replacing injured Hardik Pandya, the Men in Blue got new momentum and showcased their ruthless bowling skills in the last match against England. But with the consistent failure to perform in the match by players like Shubhman Gill, Mohammed Siraj and Shreyas Iyer, the team management might make some changes in the playing XI of the team ahead of Thursday’s match.

If in an unlikely move, the team’s think tank decides to rest Iyer and Siraj, they might replace them with Ishan Kishan and Shardul Thakur, respectively. As the surface in Mumbai will likely be flat, we don't see Ravichandran Ashwin replacing any of the players.&nbsp;

<h2>IND vs SL World Cup 2023: Will Hardik Pandya play match against Sri Lanka?</h2>

Indian all-rounder Hardik Pandya is set to miss Thursday’s match against Sri Lanka. In fact, he will also miss the next match against South Africa, as he continues to recover from an ankle injury. Pandya got injured during a match against Bangladesh in Pune and has not played a match since Oct 19.&nbsp;

To make up for his skills, India played Suryakumar Yadav and replaced Shardul Thakur with Mohammed Shami against New Zealand and England.&nbsp;

<h2>IND vs SL World Cup 2023: Team news</h2>

Shubhman Gill as an opening batsman was expected to do some fireworks on the pitch, but he only managed to score 103 runs at a low average of 26 across four outings. What’s more important is that he has consistently been troubled by the pacers and could be vulnerable to Sri Lanka’s rampant new ball attack by Dilshan Madushanka and Kasun Rajitha.&nbsp;

Besides Gill, Mohammed Siraj and Shreyas Iyer have also underperformed for team India in this World Cup. While Siraj has picked only six wickets in as many outings, Iyer's issues against the short ball have been well exploited by the opponents.&nbsp;

The beautiful plant of lavender not only offers an aromatic fragrance but is also one of the many plants that repel mosquitoes. The pleasant aroma of the plant is actually dreadful to mosquitoes and keeps them at bay. 

Catnip is known as the cousin of mint plant and possesses a natural chemical called nepetalactone, which is both a feline attractant and an insect repellent. 

Basil is another herb that can be used a pest repellent. Its pungent smell keeps mosquitoes away. This herb grows better when kept damp and needs good drainage with lots of sunlight. 

Not only marigolds make your landscape beautiful but they also contain pyrethrum, a compound used in several insect repellents. You can place potted marigolds near doors, windows or wherever there are common mosquito entry points. 

One of the most well-known mosquito deterrents, the overwhelming aroma of citronella plants masks the odour of carbon dioxide produced from our warm-blooded bodies. This stops mosquitoes from attacking you. 

Sage belongs to the mint family and has grayish-green leaves along with woody stems. The leaves of this herbaceous plant have a powerful aroma and also produce oils that help repel mosquitoes. 

This beautiful plant is used in cooking but is also an excellent mosquito repellent. For repellent purposes, both the live plant or its cuttings are effective in getting rid of those disease-spreading bugs.

The United States is preparing itself for the dynamic weather event of November called witch storms. November is the month when fall grows into winter and often a mix of weather conditions is experienced in the early month. One such phenomenon is the witch storms, which are described as intense Midwest windstorms.&nbsp;

Midwest windstorms (sometimes also called thunderstorms) are fierce windstorms that develop in the Midwestern USA i.e. the northern central part of the country. This region usually experiences several windstorms in late October or early November. One such climatic event is witch storms. Let’s decode this&nbsp;spookily-titled&nbsp;storm.

<h2>What are witch storms? How are they formed?</h2>

Witch storms are the windstorms that are formed during the fall when the temperature is increasing in contrast from north to south across the US. This increase in temperature produces stronger low-pressure systems that produce intense winds or windstorms, as per The Weather Channel.&nbsp;

These winds have a notorious history of escalating in early November and are sometimes referred to as the “Witches of November.”&nbsp;

Winds from these storms often cause tree damage and huge power outages. According to The Weather Channel, these storms are also a major hazard for shipping on the Great Lakes. In November 1975, one of these witch storms sank a huge iron ore ship called Edmund Fitzgerald on Lake Superior.&nbsp;

<h2>November will be cloudier</h2>

As per The Weather Channel’s report, this month is usually the cloudiest month of the year in parts of the Northern Plains and upper Midwest in the States. For other parts, the cloudy peak will arrive in December. But an average November sky will remain at least 70 per cent cloud-covered around the Great Lakes, interior Northeast and Pacific Northwest.

<h2>Severe weather outbreaks can occur in November</h2>

History shows that November is prone to severe weather outbreaks. Last year, November saw an above-average 68 tornadoes in the month, most of which were in the South of the US, as per The Weather Channel.&nbsp;

Deadly tornadoes struck Texas and Oklahoma states on Nov 4 and then Alabama early on Nov 30. Based on these occurrences, meteorologists are predicting large outbreaks in Nov 2023 too. It is mostly because of the windstorms occurring in the Deep South, where warm, moist air is more common.

6 Incredible Health Benefits of Bananas 

Bloating makes you feel uneasy. Bananas help you in this situation as they fight back against gas and water retention. They also increase the bloat-fighting bacteria in the stomach. 

Consuming a banana smoothie made of milk/curd or banana with some milk and a few strawberries helps to provide relief from hangover. 

Bananas are rich in potassium, minerals, and electrolytes that help to maintain your heart health. They have high potassium and low sodium content and hence help to protect your cardiovascular system against high blood pressure. 

Born into a Polish-Jewish family, Victoria studied law and sociology at Cardiff University and worked as a solicitor before marrying Keir Starmer.


Bananas contain calcium and magnesium, which have been shown to reduce other PMS symptoms such as pain and bloating. Bananas are also an excellent source of vitamin B6. High doses of B6 are known to reduce feelings of stress, anxiety, and depression. 

Each banana contains 12 mg of choline. Choline is a fat-blasting vitamin B that acts directly on the genes that cause fat storage in the abdomen. This compound in bananas helps the body to burn fat easily along with exercise.
