What's Up for January 2023 Skywatching Tips from NASA

What are some skywatching highlights for the Northern Hemisphere in January 2023?

Some lovely groupings this month include the Moon with Mars, and later with Jupiter, and a close conjunction of Venus and Saturn. The brilliant stars of the Northern Hemisphere's winter sky are a dazzling sight all month long. And a comet discovered last March makes its closest approach to Earth in January, gracing pre-dawn skies.
