The Night SkyMonday, January 7 · As dawn begins to brighten on Tuesday morning, spot the waning crescent Moon in the southeast. Below it is Antares, a summer-evening star just beginning its months-long trek backward through the night. Much farther lower left of the Moon, Venus rises. Higher in the south are Saturn and, two fists to Saturn's right, Spica. Tuesday, January 8 · Jupiter's moon Io crosses Jupiter's face from 8:03 to 10:13 p.m. EST, followed by Io's tiny black shadow from 8:55 to 11:06 p.m. EST. Jupiter's Great Red Spot transits the planet's central meridian around 2:02 a.m. Wednesday morning EST. For all of Jupiter's satellite events and Great Red Spot transit times, good worldwide, get our new JupiterMoons app. · As dawn brightens early Wednesday morning, find the waning crescent Moon low in the southeast. Look to its right by roughly a fist-width at arm's length for Antares, as shown above, and well to its lower left for Venus rising.
Wednesday, January 9 · As dawn brightens Thursday morning, Venus shines near the hairline crescent Moon very low in the southeast, as shown above. Look well to their upper right for twinkly, fire-colored Antares. Thursday, January 10 · Andromeda contains many more deep-sky sights than just the Andromeda Galaxy. From a carbon star to a cluster by the head of the Golf Putter, take a tour with Sue French's Deep-Sky Wonders column and chart in the January Sky & Telescope, page 60. Friday, January 11 · In early evening at this time of year, the Great Square of Pegasus balances on one corner high in the west. The vast Andromeda-Pegasus constellation complex runs all the way from near the zenith (Andromeda's foot) down through the Great Square (Pegasus's body) to low in the west (Pegasus's nose). · New Moon (exact at 2:44 p.m. EST) Image Sky & Telescope
