Best Night Sky Events for January
First off, Happy New Year to all. Secondly, the new year brings a whole new list of events to experience. Now we may only get a few clear January winter nights, but there are plenty of events to witness.
January is a cold but object-packed month to observe the cosmos because our nights are still long, giving us plenty of opportunities to spot celestial wonders, including the wolf moon, a major meteor shower, a few conjunctions and a comet. Our cold temperatures mean the atmosphere is a little steadier and, if cold enough, all the water has frozen out of the sky, making for crystal-clear nights. Both of these elements improve visibility and provide better conditions for astronomical observations.
