This Month’s Sky 

The king of the planets, Jupiter, puts on a phenomenal show all night long. There is no doubt that you will spot brilliant Jupiter to the left of Orion, the Hunter, amongst the stars of Gemini, the Twins. Dazzling Venus returns to the evening sky later in the month. We need to put on our winter coats, hats, gloves, and boots.

Grab your Starry Trail map and binoculars and let’s enjoy the brightest stars of the year and fabulous star hopping!
