What To View in the Night Sky in January, 2025

The January 2025 sky will be loaded with many astronomical views. Four planets will dominate the evening skies, with Mars reaching opposition on the 16, and Venus and Saturn will appear side by side on the same night. There are numerous nebulae to gaze at, such as the Orion, Horsehead, and Flame Nebulae, and nearby is the Rosette cluster with the Christmas tree, Cone, and Hubble's Variable Nebulae. Also, the Earth will be at its closest approach to the sun on the 4th.
