This Gregorian month brings us a few interesting celestial events. Early in the month on the 3rd/4th we have the Quantrids meteor shower, shortly after followed by a partial solar eclipse on the 6th in eastern Asia and northeastern Russia. The solar eclipse is followed by a total lunar eclipse over north and south America.
Venus will also be an interesting subject. It reaches its greatest western elongation – its greatest altitude in the eastern pre-dawn sky – on 6th January, then will be conjunct with Jupiter on the morning of the 22nd.
