Starting Friday, it should be visible above the twilight horizon and grow brighter over the next few days, possibly reaching peak brightness the week of October 14. It will shine in the west, just left of the Big Dipper. To catch the best show, you&#8217;ll want to get to a dark sky.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the darkest skies are areas that limit night lights. These are often officially zoned &#8220;dark sky parks&#8221;, which have clear views of the night sky when the weather permits.<\/p>\n<p>There is even an International Dark-Sky Association, which can dole out an official Dark Sky park status. Only the clearest night skies, unimpeded by light pollution, are allowed the honorable IDA-certified title.<\/p>\n<p><!-- Excluded mobile ad on desktop -->Over half of the 50 US states have at least one location that&#8217;s IDA-certified. And some states, like Utah and Michigan, have many.
