StarDate: January-February 2024

This year we take a look at some of the more prominent stars in the night sky, from the North Star to some giants that are about to blast themselves to bits. They’re all part of our 2024 Sky Almanac issue, which offers details on some beautiful skywatching treats, including a spectacular total solar eclipse in April. Plan your skywatching adventures with tips on meteor showers, encounters between bright planets, and much more.
