The Moon meets Jupiter in the sky 🌙

On January 26, at 02:00 GMT, the waxing crescent Moon will pass within 1.8° from bright Jupiter in the constellation Pisces. Spot them both even with the naked eye! 👀 Our Moon’s craters and Jupiter’s moons will pop up through a good pair of binoculars, but don’t bother taking a telescope — the Moon and Jupiter won’t fit together within its field of view.
