I’ll be watching.
🌌 January Sky is Magical 🤌🏻
🌕 January 3: The Wolf Supermoon
We kick off the year with 2026's first Full Moon! Because it's a Supermoon reaching its closest point to Earth, it will look 14% bigger and 30% brighter than a standard micro-moon.
How to see it: Visible everywhere on Earth. Catch it rising in the East right after the sun sets.
🌠 January 3-4: The Quadrantids Meteor Shower
This is typically a top-tier shower, capable of producing 120 meteors per hour. A heads-up, though: the bright glow of the nearby Supermoon will likely hide the fainter shooting stars.
How to see it: Best viewed from the Northern Hemisphere in the early morning of January 4. Look toward the Boötes constellation (near the Big Dipper).
🌌 January 10: Jupiter reaches Opposition
The King of Planets hits its peak! Earth will pass directly between the Sun and Jupiter, making the planet fully illuminated and appearing at its biggest and brightest for the entire year.
How to see it: It’s an all-night show. Jupiter rises in the East at sunset, reaches its highest point around midnight, and sets in the West at sunrise.
