Eye on the Night Sky
Friday, January 02, 2026
Today:
The eastern skies in early January never lack for bright stars, every year hosting Orion in the east, and the Twins of Gemini to the left in the northeast. Adding to these celestial beacons are the nearly-Full Moon, to the stars of Gemini and Orion, while Jupiter rises early in the evening, to the Twins lower right.
