What's Up in the February 2025 Skies


Listen Later

Winter is in full swing, and despite that February is often the coldest month of the year, it’s the shortest and there’s lots of great object to explore.  In this episode, we’ll explore the planets and how to see them and an update on Comet ATLAS.  We’ll look at several space mission updates, explore a large crater on the moon and then explore some of the best objects that can be seen in Canis Major.  It’s going to be a LOT of fun!
