Just after sunset the very thin waxing crescent Moon was quite close in the southern sky to the brilliant planet Venus. At maximum elongation its gibbous phase was clearly visible!

Sunspots at sunset!
As the Sun set tonight, you could see that it was covered with sunspots! (Reminder: NEVER look directly at the Sun - this photo was taken using a professional-quality filter!) Chance of another auroral display tonight too!

The Night Sky in January
My first broadcast of the year on 'Suffolk Sound' will be today at 11.20. Assuming the sky ever clears, there's lots to see this month! (ISS passes from January 14th will be published soon!)
Fingers crossed for 2025!
To everyone who looks at the blog: many thanks for your support and encouragement. Let's hope for a bird-filled and peaceful New Year!
