NASA gave clues about the objects we can see in the sky in February. These clues include the rotation of Mars and the spiral galaxy. The sky will be a visual feast throughout February. Here are the details…

NASA shared: Here are the sky views during February!

This week, NASA released a video explaining the celestial events that will take place in February. The coming days will be the last chance to see Venus. Because Venus will continue to hide itself until July. Especially when the sky begins to brighten on the morning of February 6, we will see Venus near a thin crescent.

A breathtaking view awaits space enthusiasts on the evening of February 14, that is, Valentine’s Day. After sunset, NASA advises observers to keep their eyes high in the southwest. Thus, observers can observe the crescent-shaped moon near Jupiter. “They are only a few fingers wide in the sky, which means most binoculars will show them in the same field of view,” the space agency says.

“The temperature in February is quite low and it is not super bright. But you can observe it brightening and rising even earlier in the coming months. Those with an unobstructed view of the southeastern horizon may observe a close approach to rising Mars and Venus in the last week of February,” NASA said. said.

This month will also offer an important chance to those who use binoculars or telescopes. Observers will be able to observe Messier 81 (M81), a spiral galaxy similar to the Milky Way, albeit a little smaller. Another name for Messier 81 is the Bode Galaxy. Additionally, this galaxy is located approximately 11.8 million light-years away from us. So if you can observe it, remember that the photons of light hitting your eyes have been traveling through space for more than 11 million years.

Using basic imaging equipment, you will see M81, the Bode Galaxy, as a dim patch of light. However, if you use more powerful devices, you can observe the bright core and spiral arms of the galaxy.
