January would not be so exciting if it weren’t for the two times we can see a close encounter between the Moon, Venus, and Mars. Also visible this month are Jupiter, Saturn, and maybe Mercury.
December brings us good views of Venus, Mars, and Jupiter, maybe some Geminid Meteors & a good Lunar occultation of Aldebaran!
