Jupiter will be at near opposition, making its best appearance in the sky for the entire year! We will also have great views of the winter skies around the constellation Orion, featuring some of the brightest clusters and nebulae visible in the northern hemisphere. Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune should also be visible. Cultures across the world and throughout time are united in a fascination with the night sky. Humans have used stars to mark the passage of time, tell stories, build mythologies, and navigate across vast dark oceans. With powerful telescopes and a wealth of knowledge, Bob Piekiel is your tour guide to the stars and planets, revealing the secrets of the far away, inspiring us to think about how special our little green and blue ball in space is.
