February is always the shortest month, so it seems appropriate that there isn’t so much to see in the night sky for those in the Northern Hemisphere in the next 4 weeks.
But the New Moon on February 9th will set the stage for some excellent opportunities to see the gas giants Saturn and Jupiter, as they will come to extreme proximity to the young moon, thereby giving stargazers both an easy time finding the planets, and very little light pollution.
