Join Leon and Beth for your monthly stargazing guide as they explore the Borloo night sky this March. As Bunuru lingers, the warm nights offer perfect conditions for spotting Mars and Jupiter shining brightly in the north, while Saturn, Venus, and Mercury stay hidden in the Sun’s glare until late in the month. High in the southern sky, the Argo Navis constellation spreads its sails, while in the west, the lesser-known Lepus—the celestial hare—hops just beneath Orion.

This month Beth and Leon guide you through the February night sky.

From the continuation of the Planet Parade including the new addition of Mercury, to the Constellation of the Month, Canis Major aka Big Dog and a deep dive look at the star Sirius.

This month, the night sky puts on an incredible show with Mars at opposition, Gemini rising in the north, and a spectacular planetary parade across the evening sky. Look out for Venus, Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, and even Uranus and Neptune (with a telescope), all neatly aligned along the ecliptic plane.

Don't miss the Moon joining the parade between January 2nd and 15th, and make sure to catch Mars at its best on January 16th. Plus, explore the mythological story of Gemini, the twin brothers Castor and Pollux, and their cosmic adventures immortalized in the stars.

January 2025 is the perfect time to gaze at the red planet, marvel at celestial clusters like Messier 35, and trace the solar system’s ecliptic path across the summer night sky.
