This week’s sky events feature stunning lunar and planetary sights. A full Moon appears near Jupiter, Castor, and Pollux on January 2–3, coinciding with the Quadrantid meteor shower, though moonlight will hinder viewing. Jupiter dominates the night sky, with its Great Red Spot and moon transits visible almost nightly, culminating in its opposition on January 10, when it rises at sunset and spans 47 arcseconds. The Little Dipper hangs straight down, while Orion and Sirius brighten evenings. Saturn sets earlier in the southwest, Uranus is near the Pleiades, and Neptune lingers above Saturn as winter constellations sparkle in January’s chill. https://skyandtelescope.org/astronomy-news/observing-news/this-weeks-sky-at-a-glance-january-2-11/
