The new moon of January will occur on January 11, followed by Mercury reaching its greatest westward separation from the sun, making it visible as a "morning star." Skywatchers can use Venus to locate Mercury, and observing prospects for Mercury improve as one moves southwards towards the equator. In the evening sky, Jupiter and Saturn are visible, while winter constellations are in full swing for Northern Hemisphere observers. Southern Hemisphere observers can look out for prominent constellations such as Puppis, Carina, and Vela. If you're interested in observing the night sky during new moons, guides to telescopes and binoculars are recommended, and for photography, there are guides on how to photograph the moon and planets, as well as the best cameras and lenses for astrophotography.
Venus, known as the "Morning Star," is currently visible in the early morning sky, rising before dawn. It is getting brighter and will reach its greatest brilliance on September 19th. Venus can be seen through the daytime sky as a tiny white speck against the blue backdrop. Its greatest illuminated extent coincides with its greatest brilliancy, displaying a large, brilliant, beautiful crescent that waxes in phase throughout September. Venus will also be close to the star Regulus and the planet Mercury in the coming weeks.
