Best Night Sky Events for January 2024

The new year brings with it a whole new list of events to experience throughout the year. 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. Our cold temperatures mean that the atmosphere is a little steadier and if cold enough all the water has frozen out of the sky making for very clear nights, both of which improve visibility and provide better conditions for astronomical observations.
