February is the perfect time to look for the Orion Nebula—and to see Venus at its brightest in the early morning hours. What else is in our night skies this month? We've got the rundown in our latest edition of 'What's Up':
What's Up for February? Jupiter makes its exit, Venus at peak brightness, and the star-forming cloud next door.
Speaking of morning skies, the planet Venus will be at its brightest for the year in February, around mid-month. It rises with Mars around 4 a.m. and is visible low in the southeast until sunrise. Venus is the brightest of all the planets in our solar system because of the highly reflective clouds that completely cover its globe. But its brightness in our skies varies, depending on how far it is from Earth and on its phase.
February is a perfect time to enjoy one of the most popular and well-studied sights in the night sky: the Great Nebula in Orion. The Orion Nebula is an enormous cloud of gas and dust where thousands of stars are being born. In fact, it's the nearest large star-forming region to our solar system, at around 1,500 light-years away.
