This week’s sky, February 13–22, features evening views of Mercury and Venus low in the west-southwest, with Saturn emerging later in twilight. Orion reaches its highest in the south around 8 p.m., accompanied by Canis Major and Lepus. Highlights include the new Moon on February 17 with an annular solar eclipse for Antarctica, and a conjunction or occultation of Mercury by a thin crescent Moon on February 18. Jupiter dominates the evening sky in Gemini, while Saturn lingers low, and Uranus is high in Taurus. Observers can also enjoy Kemble’s Cascade, hidden gems in deep-sky objects, and variable star Algol’s minima. https://skyandtelescope.org/astronomy-news/observing-news/this-weeks-sky-at-a-glance-february-13-22/
