The Moon appeared this afternoon in the northeast skies and is now travelling alongside the bright stars Capella and Betelgeuse. The celestial trio will venture together until Tuesday when the Moon sets by 7.38am London time. Stargazers who catch a glimpse of the Moon before then might think it is a Full Moon tonight - the annual Full Cold Moon.
Eyes to the skies! Don t miss these beautiful winter astronomical events

Monday, December 21st 2020, 11:30 am - Despite the cold, winter is an exceptional season for skywatching and stargazing. Here s what to watch for in our skies.
Clear winter nights often present the best viewing, compared to other seasons, as the air overhead tends to be drier and more stable. Stars, planets and the Moon appear crisper and cleaner as their light encounters less turbulence in the air before it reaches us. The drier air also reflects back less of the light pollution produced by our urban centres. So our skies tend to be darker, allowing us to see more stars and more of the dimmer meteors during annual meteor showers.
