CINCINNATI (FOX19) - January is looking to be a great month for sky gazers.
Even though we are about halfway through the month, there is still plenty to see.
On Jan. 19, you will have the chance to see a meteor shower that will be the peak of the Gamma Minorid Meteor Shower.
On Jan. 21, two celestial events will take place. An asteroid Eunomia will be visible, and you will be able to see the Conjunction of Mars and Uranus.

In the weeks before Christmas, friends of a friend told me about a bobcat sighting they had while hiking on a trail in southern Essex County. And not long after that, a very dear friend of mine who lives in the same area sent me a couple of photographs she’d taken of a mound and scratch marks she’d discovered in her yard. She told me that she’d also found what appeared to be claw marks on a nearby tree trunk. A bit of research confirmed that both were signs of a bobcat.Â
