The Planets of January 2025
Wow, it's been a cloudy few months. We finally have some clear weather and fortunately it coincides with most of the planets being in the sky. Mars is at it's closest point in it's orbit and close to opposition. I took these images on Jan 16th & 17th. Saturn and Venus were low in the sky and suffered from poor seeing. Left to right, it's Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn.
