LOOK UP, Stargazers! ✨️ Tomorrow night, January 10, you can see Jupiter in opposition, at its closest appearance of the year. But the brightest “star” of the night sky is Sirius, the Dog Star. To find it in the night sky, just look up towards Orion, the Hunter, and his bright belt. Then, follow it downward. Orion’s Belt always points to the blue-white Sirius.
Then, on January 27, the Moon hovers to the left of the famous “Seven Sisters” Pleiades star cluster, a stunning scene when viewed through binoculars. And on the 30th, all night, you can view Jupiter hovering right below a nearly Full Moon ✨️ See more celestial events for this month at Almanac.com/night-sky-january
