The moon and Mars are the heralds of this particular New Year. On 3 January, they will pass each other in the night sky. The moon will be in its waxing gibbous phase, about 11 days old with 92% of its visible surface illuminated.
The conjunction takes place in the constellation of Taurus, the bull. During northern winter time, the star field around this constellation is particularly beautiful. Below Taurus is Orion, the hunter. He is imagined to be holding a club in his upraised right hand, and a shield in his left – ready to counter the charge of the bull. Behind Orion are his hunting dogs, Canis Major and Canis Minor.
The star of Sirius – the brightest star in the sky – marks out the larger of the dogs. It can often be seen twinkling fiercely in the northern winter air. Meanwhile, the delicate yellow hue of Procyon, the eighth brightest star in the sky, draws the eye to the smaller of Orion’s hunting dogs.
From the southern hemisphere, these constellations appear upside down in the northern sky. They are well-placed for viewing about midnight.
… we have a small favour to ask. Millions are turning to the Guardian for open, independent, quality news every day, and readers in 180 countries around the world now support us financially.
We believe everyone deserves access to information that’s grounded in science and truth, and analysis rooted in authority and integrity. That’s why we made a different choice: to keep our reporting open for all readers, regardless of where they live or what they can afford to pay. This means more people can be better informed, united, and inspired to take meaningful action.
In these perilous times, a truth-seeking global news organization like the Guardian is essential. We have no shareholders or billionaire owner, meaning our journalism is free from commercial and political influence – this makes us different. When it’s never been more important, our independence allows us to fearlessly investigate, challenge and expose those in power.
