Why does my pilot light on my furnace keep going out?

It's getting near winter and I lit my pilot light again to get the heat checked out and working before the really cold weather sets in.

I lit it and the furnace worked fine until the furnace shut off and it went out again.

What could be causing the furnace pilot light to keep going out?

It's possible that your thermocouple on your furnace could be bad causing your pilot light to go out.
