💙 January 8, morning: Moon meets Venus

What: The waning crescent moon meets Venus, with the brightest planet in our sky

When: Monday January 8, approx. 2 hours before sunrise to sunrise

Equipment needed: Naked eye

How: Get a clear view of the southeast horizon. The waning crescent moon and Venus (the brightest “star” in that direction) will rise together about two hours before the sun. They will remain easily visible until just before sunrise, after which they will become more challenging, but still visible.

💙 January 18, evening: Moon meets Jupiter

What: The waxing gibbous moon meets with Jupiter, the king of the planets

When: Thursday January 18, approx. 1 hour after sunset to after midnight

Equipment needed: Naked eye or binoculars (recommendations: Cometron 7x50 or Skymaster 9x63)

How: The waxing gibbous moon (with Jupiter near it) will become visible toward the southeast once the sky has darkened a bit after sunset. They will rise higher in the sky until about 7pm and keep making their way west until they set after midnight. They will be closest to each other in the early part of the evening, when it will be possible to view them both together with binoculars.

💙 Nights of January 24-25 and 25-26, all night: Full Wolf Moon

January’s full moon is at its fullest at 12:55pm Eastern Time on January 25. This means that for most of North and South America, it will be almost equally full on the evenings of January 24 and 25. It gives us two chances to see a full moon this month! For the rest of the world, it’ll be fullest on the evening of the 25th.

Named after the wolves that are often heard howling at this time of year in the northern hemisphere, the Full Wolf Moon will rise towards the northeast over an hour before sunset on January 24 and around the time of sunset on the 25th.

❤️️ January 26-28, morning: Mercury meets Mars

What: The tiny planet Mercury meets with Mars, the Red Planet

When: Friday to Sunday January 26-28, approx. 1 hour before sunrise to approx. 30 minutes before sunrise

Equipment needed: Telescope (recommendations: Starsense Explorer LT 80AZ or Starsense Explorer LT 114AZ)

How: This is a challenging observation and you will likely need a telescope to see it. That’s because the planets are quite close to the sun at this time and will be competing with the light of the sunrise. Start looking near the southeast horizon about an hour before sunrise. The very bright “star” that’s already up is Venus. Below and to the left of Venus, you should see Mercury rising. Once it’s a little ways above the horizon, point your telescope at it and you should see Mars beside it, looking like an even less bright star. This may be possible to see with binoculars depending on your location, but the planetary encounter is very close on the 27th and could be a great sight with higher magnification using a telescope.

💙 February 7, morning: Moon meets Venus

What: The waning crescent moon meets Venus, with the brightest planet in our sky

When: Wednesday February 7, approx. 45 minutes before sunrise to sunrise

Equipment needed: Naked eye

How: Get a clear view of the southeast horizon. Venus (the brightest “star” in that direction) will rise first about one hour before the sun, followed by the waning crescent moon below and to its right about 30 minutes later. They will remain easily visible until just before sunrise, after which they will become more challenging, but still visible.

💙 February 10, evening: Moon meets Saturn

What: The waxing crescent moon meets with Saturn, the ringed planet

When: Saturday February 10, approx. 45 minutes after sunset to approx. 1 hour after sunset

Equipment needed: Naked eye or binoculars (recommendations: Cometron 7x50 or Skymaster 9x63)

How: Once the sunset light has faded, find the moon close to the horizon between west and southwest, with Saturn near it, looking like a bright star. They will set less than half an hour later, giving you a short window to see them together.

💙 February 14, evening: Moon meets Jupiter

What: The waxing crescent moon meets with Jupiter, the king of the planets

When: Wednesday February 14, approx. 30 minutes after sunset to approx. midnight

Equipment needed: Naked eye or binoculars (recommendations: Cometron 7x50 or Skymaster 9x63)

How: The thick waxing crescent moon (with Jupiter near it) will become visible high in the sky toward the southwest once the sky has darkened a bit after sunset. They will set around midnight between the west and northwest. They will get closer to each other in the later part of the night, when it will become easier to view them both together with binoculars.

💙 February 16, evening: Moon meets Pleiades

What: The first quarter moon meets with the bright Pleiades star cluster

When: Friday February 16, approx. 1.5 hours after sunset to approx. 2AM

Equipment needed: Naked eye or binoculars (recommendations: Cometron 7x50 or Skymaster 9x63)

How: The moon will be visible in the early evening before sunset high in the sky toward the south. Once the sky has gotten darker around 1.5 hours after sunset, you should see a compact group of stars beside the moon, which is the Pleiades. They will be closer to each other early in the night, at which time you can use binoculars to view them together. They will get further apart in the later part of the night. The light of the bright moon may make it challenging to see the star cluster, but binoculars would make it easier.

💛 February 20-24, morning: Venus meets Mars

What: The bright planet Venus meets with Mars, the Red Planet

When: Tuesday to Saturday February 20 to 24, approx. 1 hour before sunrise to approx. 30 minutes before sunrise

Equipment needed: Naked eye, binoculars (recommendations: Cometron 7x50 or Skymaster 9x63), or telescope (recommendations: Starsense Explorer LT 80AZ or Starsense Explorer LT 114AZ)

How: You should see Venus, looking like an extremely bright star, rise between east and southeast about 1 hour before the sun. Mars is not very bright these days, so it will be harder to see but will be very close to Venus. If you have binoculars, they will help you find Mars in the same field of view as Venus. This is a very close encounter, meaning that if you have a telescope, you can use it with a fair bit of magnification for a good close-up. This is a somewhat challenging observation because Mars will become easier to see as they get higher in the sky, but the dawn light will also be coming in at the same time, which will make it harder to see.

💙 Nights of February 23-24 and 24-25, all night: Full Snow Moon

February’s full moon is at its fullest at 7:31am Eastern Time on February 24. This means that for most of North and South America, it will be about equally full on the evenings of February 23 and 24. It gives us two chances to see a full moon this month! For anyone on other continents, the moon will be at its fullest on the evening of February 24.

Named after the northern hemisphere’s cold season, the Full Snow Moon will rise between the east and northeast about 45 minutes before sunset on February 23 and about 30 minutes after sunset on the 24th.

💙 February 28, morning: Moon meets Spica

What: The waning gibbous moon meets with Spica, the brightest star in the constellation Virgo

When: Wednesday February 28, after midnight to about an hour before sunrise

Equipment needed: Naked eye, binoculars (recommendations: Cometron 7x50 or Skymaster 9x63), or telescope (recommendations: Starsense Explorer LT 80AZ or Starsense Explorer LT 114AZ)

How: The waning gibbous moon will rise between east and southeast around 10pm on February 27, followed by Spica below it. They will get closer to each other in the later part of the night, when it will become easier to view them both together with binoculars or even a telescope, until the light of dawn makes Spica disappear. They will be very close to each other just before morning twilight.

💛 March 3, morning: Moon occults Antares

What: The third quarter moon occults (hides) Antares, the brightest star in Scorpius

Where: Northern South America and southeastern North America

When: Sunday March 3, between midnight and sunrise (time depends on location)

Equipment needed: Naked eye, binoculars (recommendations: Cometron 7x50 or Skymaster 9x63), or telescope (recommendations: Starsense Explorer LT 80AZ or Starsense Explorer LT 114AZ)

How: This occultation will only be visible from certain locations in the Americas. To see if it’s visible from your location, use an astronomy app like SkySafari. Set your location, navigate to the night of March 2-3, centre on the moon and go forward or backward in time until Antares disappears behind the moon. If it happens when the moon is above the horizon but at least 1.5 hours before sunrise, you should be able to see the occultation. If if disappears behind the moon when they are below the horizon or during daylight hours, or if it passes beside the moon, you will not see an occultation but there will be a very close conjunction.

Note the times of disappearance and reappearance, since those are the most interesting to watch. You can see it with the naked eye or use binoculars or a telescope to view this event.

💙 March 13, evening: Moon meets Jupiter

What: The waxing crescent moon meets with Jupiter, the king of the planets

When: Wednesday March 13, approx. 30 minutes after sunset to approx. midnight

Equipment needed: Naked eye or binoculars (recommendations: Cometron 7x50 or Skymaster 9x63)

How: The waxing crescent moon (with Jupiter near it) will become visible high in the sky between the west and southwest once the sky has darkened a bit after sunset. They will set around midnight between the west and northwest. They will be closer to each other in the earlier part of the night, when it will be easier to view them both together with binoculars.

💙 March 14, evening: Moon meets Pleiades

What: The thick waxing crescent moon meets with the bright Pleiades star cluster

When: Thursday March 14, approx. 1.5 hours after sunset to approx. 1AM

Equipment needed: Naked eye or binoculars (recommendations: Cometron 7x50 or Skymaster 9x63), or telescope (recommendations: Starsense Explorer LT 80AZ or Starsense Explorer LT 114AZ)

How: The moon will be visible in the early evening before sunset high in the sky toward the southwest. Once the sky has gotten darker around 1.5 hours after sunset, you should see a compact group of stars beside the moon, which is the Pleiades. They will get closer to each other later in the night, at which time you can use binoculars or even a telescope to view them together. The light of the bright moon may make it challenging to see the star cluster, but binoculars would make it easier.

💛 March 24, evening: Mercury's best evening visibility

What: Mercury, the planet nearest the sun, is at its best evening visibility of the year

When: Sunday March 24, approx. 45 minutes after sunset to approx. 1.5 hours after sunset

Equipment needed: Naked eye or binoculars (recommendations: Cometron 7x50 or Skymaster 9x63)

How: Mercury is notoriously difficult to see because it always stays close to the sun, moving back and forth between the evening sky and the morning sky. On March 24, its apparent distance from the sun, along with the springtime angle of the ecliptic will make it easier to see. March 24 will be the best, but it should be fairly good for 2-3 days before and after as well. Get a clear view of the horizon from west to northwest. Start looking near that horizon about 45 minutes after sunset. Jupiter will be visible much earlier because it’s a lot brighter and higher in the sky. Mercury will appear after Jupiter, looking like a fairly bright star in the glow of sunset near the horizon. It will set about 1.5 hours after the sun. This will be visible to the naked eye but binoculars would make it easier to find.

💙 Night of March 24-25: Full Sap Moon

The full moon of March is at its fullest at 3:01am Eastern Time on March 25. This means that for most of North and South America, it will be the fullest on the evening of March 24. For anyone on other continents, the moon will be about equally full on the evenings of March 24 and 25.

Named after the sap that runs down maple trees in northeastern North America to make delicious maple syrup, the Full Sap Moon will rise towards the east shortly before sunset on March 24. This moon is also called the Worm Moon, because the thawing ground reveals worms that birds are happy to eat!

💛 Night of March 24-25: Penumbral lunar eclipse

Where: North and South America, western Europe and Africa, eastern Asia and Oceania

What: The moon will pass inside the penumbra (outer shadow) of the Earth, causing the moon to dim slightly

When: Night of March 24-25, time depends on location

Equipment needed: Naked eye, binoculars (recommendations: Cometron 7x50 or Skymaster 9x63), or telescope (recommendations: Starsense Explorer LT 80AZ or Starsense Explorer LT 114AZ)

How: Unlike total or partial lunar eclipses, a penumbral lunar eclipse is a bit difficult to observe. The Earth’s shadow is in two parts - the umbra is the part of the shadow where no direct sunlight reaches, while the penumbra is the outer part of the shadow, where some direct sunlight reaches but some is blocked by the Earth. During a total lunar eclipse, the moon goes entirely within the umbra and no direct sunlight reaches it. During a partial lunar eclipse, the moon goes partly within the umbra, so it looks like a bite is taken out of the moon. During a penumbral lunar eclipse, the moon only goes into the Earth’s penumbra, meaning it doesn’t get significantly darker or appear to have a bite taken out. One edge of the moon will just look slightly dimmer than it would during a regular full moon.

The dimming is so subtle that it may be hard to notice with the naked eye, but it may be a little easier with binoculars or a telescope. I find the best way to observe a penumbral eclipse is photographically. Try taking a photo before the penumbral eclipse starts and another photo around the maximum of the eclipse to compare. Note that during this particular penumbral eclipse, the moon will pass almost entirely inside the Earth’s penumbra and will get fairly close to the umbra. This means there may be some more noticeable darkening of one side of the moon than the average penumbral eclipse! You can find out more about the specifics and timing on the Time and Date website.

💛 April 6, morning: Moon meets Saturn and Mars

What: The waning crescent moon meets with Saturn and Mars

When: Saturday April 6, approx. 1 hour before sunrise to approx. 45 minutes before sunrise

Equipment needed: Naked eye or binoculars (recommendations: Cometron 7x50 or Skymaster 9x63)

How: The waning crescent moon (with Saturn and Mars) will rise in the east about an hour before the sun. Saturn and Mars will look like similarly bright stars above the moon - Saturn to the left and Mars to the right. The window of time to see the planets will be fairly short because as they get higher in the sky, the sky will also get brighter, making them harder to see. This observation will be more challenging for people further north because of the angle at which the moon and planets rise.

💛 April 8: Total solar eclipse

Where: North America

What: The moon will pass in front of the sun, creating an total solar eclipse for a narrow path on the surface of the Earth

When: Monday April 8, times vary depending on location

Equipment needed: Solar eclipse glasses, solar binoculars, or solar telescope (View recommendations here) Never look directly at the sun without certified solar viewing filters, even during the partial phase of an eclipse. You can look directly only during the total phase, only if you are in the path of totality.

How: Observers in North America will be able to view a total or partial solar eclipse, depending on exact location. The total eclipse path will cut through Mexico, then through the United States from Texas to Maine, and through Canada from southern Ontario to Newfoundland. Most of the rest of North America, as well as Hawai’i and other Pacific Islands, will get to see a partial solar eclipse. See this Time and Date page for more info on this eclipse.

A total solar eclipse happens when the moon passes directly in front of the sun at a time when it is closer to the Earth than average, and therefore big enough to cover the entire disc of the sun. If you’re in the path of totality, during the total phase of the eclipse, it will briefly become dark as if it was after sunset. It will look like there’s a 360 degree sunset all around you, and you will see the brightest stars and planets overhead. This is the only time when it is safe to look toward the sun without protective solar filters. During the partial phase of the eclipse (even when the sun is 99% eclipsed) it can be tempting to look directly because the reduced amount of light reaching your eyes makes it seem safe. But it is NOT safe, because the light that IS reaching you is still just as bright as in full daylight. People have ended up with crescents burned onto their retinas from staring at a partial eclipse.

Seeing a total solar eclipse is honestly one of the most amazing experiences of a lifetime. If you can at all travel to the path of totality, don’t miss your chance! And being somewhere that only gets 99% eclipse is truly not worth it. The difference between 99% and 100% eclipse is the difference between an interesting phenomenon and the unforgettable experience of a lifetime.

Anyone who is not perfectly aligned with the narrow path of totality will get a partial solar eclipse, which looks like the moon is taking a bite out of the sun.

💛 April 10-11, morning: Saturn meets Mars

What: Saturn, the ringed planet, meets with Mars, the Red Planet

When: Wednesday to Thursday April 10 to 11, approx. 1 hour before sunrise to approx. 45 minutes before sunrise

Equipment needed: Naked eye, binoculars (recommendations: Cometron 7x50 or Skymaster 9x63), or telescope (recommendations: Starsense Explorer LT 80AZ or Starsense Explorer LT 114AZ)

How: You should see Saturn and Mars, looking like similarly bright stars, rise in the east about 1 hour before the sun. If you have binoculars, they will help you find Mars and Saturn in the same field of view near the horizon. This is a very close encounter, meaning that if you have a telescope, you can use it with a fair bit of magnification for a good close-up. This is a somewhat challenging observation because the planets will become easier to see as they get higher in the sky, but the dawn light will also be coming in at the same time, which will make them harder to see.

They will be fairly close to each other for a few days before and after, but their closest encounter will be on April 10 and 11.

💙/❤️️ April 10, evening: Moon meets Jupiter and Uranus

What: The waxing crescent moon meets with Jupiter, the king of the planets, and the distant planet Uranus

When: Wednesday April 10, approx. 30 minutes after sunset to approx. 2.5 hours after sunset

Equipment needed: Naked eye or binoculars (recommendations: Cometron 7x50 or Skymaster 9x63)

How: The waxing crescent moon (with Jupiter below it, looking like the brightest star around) will become visible toward the west once the sky has darkened a bit after sunset.

To see Uranus, you’ll need binoculars. Once the sky is completely dark, look at Jupiter and the moon with low-powered binoculars, and you should see Uranus between the two. Note that there will be a number of stars brighter than Uranus in the same field of view, so you can use the above simulation to locate the distant planet among the stars.

❤️️ April 18-22, evening: Jupiter meets Uranus

What: Jupiter, the king of the planets meet with the distant planet Uranus

When: Thursday to Monday April 18 to 22, approx. 1 hour after sunset to approx. 1 hour and 15 minutes after sunset

Equipment needed: Binoculars (recommendations: Cometron 7x50 or Skymaster 9x63), or telescope (recommendations: Starsense Explorer LT 80AZ or Starsense Explorer LT 114AZ)

How: This encounter will be fairly challenging to see because Uranus is not very bright, and the light of sunset will be competing with these planets. Jupiter will be visible close to the west to northwest horizon shortly after sunset because it’s very bright. Once the sky has gotten darker, use binoculars or a telescope to look at Jupiter. Once it’s dark enough, you should be able to see Uranus within the same field of view, very close to Jupiter. Try observing them over a few nights to see how they move relative to each other.

💙 April 22, evening: Moon meets Spica

What: The full moon meets with Spica, the brightest star in the constellation Virgo

When: Monday April 22, approx. 1 hour after sunset until late in the night

Equipment needed: Naked eye, binoculars (recommendations: Cometron 7x50 or Skymaster 9x63), or telescope (recommendations: Starsense Explorer LT 80AZ or Starsense Explorer LT 114AZ)

How: The full moon will rise between east and southeast shortly before sunset on April 22. Once the sky has gotten darker, about 1 hour after sunset, you should begin to see Spica right under the moon. They will get very close to each other during the night and you should be able to see them together with the naked eye, binoculars, or even a telescope.

💙 Nights of April 22-23 and 23-24, all night: Full Pink Moon

April’s full moon is at its fullest at 7:50pm Eastern Time on April 23. This means that for most of North and South America, it will be about equally full on the evenings of April 22 and 23. It gives us two chances to see a full moon this month! For anyone on other continents, the moon will be at its fullest on the evening of April 23.

Named after the moss pink, a flower that grows in the northern hemisphere at this time of year, the Full Pink Moon will rise towards the east about an hour before sunset on April 22 and around the time of sunset on April 23.

When: Saturday May 4, approx. 1 hour before sunrise to approx. 45 minutes before sunrise

Equipment needed: Naked eye

How: The waning crescent moon (with Saturn and Mars) will rise in the east about an hour before the sun. Saturn and Mars will look like similarly bright stars on either side of the moon - Saturn to the right and Mars to the left. The window of time to see the planets will be fairly short because as they get higher in the sky, the sky will also get brighter, making them harder to see. This observation will be more challenging for people further north because of the angle at which the moon and planets rise.

💛 May 23, evening: Full moon occults Antares

What: The full moon occults (hides) Antares, the brightest star in Scorpius

Where: Northeastern South America and southeastern North America

When: Thursday May 23, evening (time depends on location)

Equipment needed: Naked eye, binoculars (recommendations: Cometron 7x50 or Skymaster 9x63), or telescope (recommendations: Starsense Explorer LT 80AZ or Starsense Explorer LT 114AZ)

How: This occultation will only be visible from certain locations in the Americas. To see if it’s visible from your location, use an astronomy app like SkySafari. Set your location, navigate to the night of May 23-24, centre on the moon and go forward or backward in time until Antares disappears behind the moon.

💙 Nights of May 22-23 and 23-24, all night: Full Flower Moon

The full moon of May is at its fullest at 9:54am Eastern Time on May 23. This means that for most of North and South America, it will be about equally full on the evenings of May 22 and 23. For anyone on other continents, the moon will be fullest on the evening of May 23.

Named after the flowers that grow in the northern hemisphere at this time of year, the Full Flower Moon will rise toward the southeast shortly before sunset on May 22 and about an hour after sunset on May 23.

💙 May 31, morning: Moon meets Saturn

What: The waning crescent moon meets with Saturn, the ringed Planet

When: Friday May 31, approx. 2.5 hours before sunrise to approx. 1 hour before sunrise

Equipment needed: Naked eye or binoculars (recommendations: Cometron 7x50 or Skymaster 9x63)

How: Find a low eastern horizon and start looking around 2.5 hours before sunrise. The thick waning crescent moon will rise with Saturn above it. They will rise higher in the sky over the next couple of hours and will be close enough to each other to be observed with binoculars or a low-powered telescope (depending on your location and time of observation). The moon will continue to be visible after dawn but Saturn will fade out of view once the light of the sky is too bright.

💙 Nights of June 20-21 and 21-22, all night: Full Strawberry Moon

The full moon of June is at its fullest at 9:09pm Eastern Time on June 21. This means that for most of North and South America, it will be about equally full on the evenings of June 20 and 21. For anyone on other continents, the moon will be fullest on the evening of June 21.

Named after the strawberries that are ripe in the northern hemisphere at this time of year, the Full Strawberry Moon will rise toward the southeast shortly before sunset on June 20 and almost an hour after sunset on June 21.

💙 June 27, morning: Moon meets Saturn

What: The waning gibbous moon meets with Saturn, the ringed Planet

When: Thursday June 27, approx. 1am to approx. 1 hour before sunrise

Equipment needed: Naked eye or binoculars (recommendations: Cometron 7x50 or Skymaster 9x63)

How: Find a low east to southeast horizon and start looking around 1am. The waning gibbous moon will rise with Saturn to its left. They will rise higher in the sky over the next few hours and will get closer to each other - enough to be observed together with binoculars. The moon will continue to be visible after dawn but Saturn will fade out of view once the light of the sky is too bright.

❤️️ June 28, morning: Moon meets Neptune

What: The third quarter moon meets with the distant planet Neptune

When: Friday June 28, approx. 2am to approx. 1.5 hours before sunrise

Equipment needed: Telescope required (recommendations: Starsense Explorer LT 80AZ)

How: This is a challenging observation and may only be possible from certain locations. Neptune is so far that it requires a telescope. It’s possible to see it with binoculars for experienced amateur astronomers, but challenging. Since it mostly requires a telescope, and telescopes have a narrow field of view, it needs to be right around the time of its nearest approach with the moon. I recommend using an astronomy app like SkySafari to figure out the exact timing.

The moon will be easy to find any time after about 2am. Point your telescope at it and, if the timing is right, Neptune should be in the same field of view. Use your lowest powered eyepiece and use the simulation above to help you find Neptune. Note that it is for a specific time and location, and the placements of the celestial objects will be different if you’re viewing from other places or times. Again, it’s helpful to use an app like SkySafari to see their exact configuration relative to each other and the stars from your location and time.

The moon will continue to be visible after dawn but Neptune will fade out of view as soon as the light of dawn starts to arrive.
