Venus is currently bright and visible to the naked eye, shining at mag. –4.3.
You can find it this month above the southwest horizon in the early evening,
when it looks like a bright 'star' in the twilight sky.
Saturn is dimmer at mag. +0.8 and located in the same part of the sky as Venus in January 2025,
just above and to the left of the planet. It won't be as bright as Venus, but it's there!
A real stargazing treat will be to watch Venus get closer and closer
to Saturn in the evening sky throughout the course of the month.
