🌅 Monday's First Dig: A federal election case in Alaska was dismissed Sunday, and November opens with a skywatching date worth noting.
🗞️ Reuters morning read: U.S. District Judge Sharon Gleason threw out a Trump administration lawsuit that sought to stop Alaska from certifying a possible loss by Republican Senator Dan Sullivan if votes for a rival candidate with the same name could have changed the result. Reuters reports that the November 3 election has not yet taken place; the ACLU, which supported Alaska in the case, said the Justice Department was asking the court to discard results before any ballot had been counted.

🌠 Useful this morning: Put November 4–5 on the calendar if your forecast offers clear skies. NASA lists the Taurid meteor shower among this year's notable viewing events. Find the darkest safe spot you can, give your eyes about 30 minutes to adjust, and scan a broad stretch of sky rather than staring at one point. No telescope is needed.
