64% Informative

The new moon of January will be at 7:36 a.m. Eastern Time on Jan. 29 , according to the U.S. Naval Observatory .

Two days later a young moon will pass near Saturn and near Venus as they cluster together in the evening sky.

The only way to see the new moon is when it passes in front of the sun, causing a solar eclipse; the next isn't due until March 29 .

On the night of the new moon in mid-northern latitudes the sun has set by 6 p.m. Northern Hemisphere constellations are in full swing for Northern Hemisphere observers at the end of January .

For Southern Hemisphere observers, where the Sun sets much later, the sky doesn't get fully dark until about 9:30 p. m. Eastern .

By 9 p.m. the Big Dipper is almost vertical and in the northeast; the "bowl" faces west.

One can use it to find Polaris , the Pole Star , by using the stars that are the front of the bowl (the top of the asterism at this time of night ) January is when Puppis, Carina and Vela , the three constellations that make up the ship (connected to the Argo) are prominent.
