We went star gazing last night because January this year is supposed to be the absolute best to see the planets. This is what AI found for me on the inter web …

🔭 **Jupiter**: The King of Planets reigns supreme this January! Its massive size and reflective clouds make Jupiter shine brightly in the night sky. Look towards the eastern horizon during the early evening, and you’ll be greeted by its golden glow. Perfectly paired with a pair of binoculars, you might even spot its four largest moons—Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto—dancing around it.

🌌 **Venus**: Known as the “Evening Star,” Venus will be at its radiant best this month. As the sun sets, look westward to witness Venus illuminating the twilight. Its stunningly bright appearance makes it hard to miss, even for city dwellers. This is an ideal time for romantic night walks under Venus’s enchanting light.

🔴 **Mars**: The Red Planet is making a statement this January, glowing with its characteristic reddish hue. Positioned high in the southern sky, Mars is visible most of the night, offering a spectacular view. Its proximity this month means it’s the perfect opportunity to spot surface features with a good telescope.

🌠 **Saturn**: Although not as conspicuous as Jupiter or Venus, Saturn’s beauty is in its rings. Rising majestically in the southeast, Saturn is a must-see for early risers. A telescope will reveal its iconic rings, a sight that never fails to amaze. So grab your telescopes, gather your friends, and head outdoors! January 2025 is the perfect time to explore the wonders of our solar system. Happy stargazing!

I definitely loved going out with my parents, my Dad spearheaded this adventure for us, and the kids. But I must say, I think I was most impressed with how good the camera on my knew phone is. -Tonya Cherry- #Truths
