  4. What is a galaxy?

  5. The Night Sky · Monday, January 24 · In the early hours of Tuesday morning, the waning Moon shines to the right of Saturn and Spica, forming a triangle with them. Tuesday, January 25 · Bright, familiar Cassiopeia overhead is a telescopic playground of deep-sky objects — but so is the section of dim Camelopardalis just to its east. Explore this lesser-known region with Sue French's Deep-Sky Wonders article and map in the January Sky & Telescope, page 58. Wednesday, January 26 · Left of Jupiter after dinnertime is the Great Square of Pegasus. It's larger than your fist at arm's length and balanced on one corner. The Great Square lies midway along the long string of stars from Andromeda's foot to Pegasus's nose. This ragged line now runs nearly from the zenith down to the west horizon, respectively. · Last-quarter Moon (exact at 7:57 a.m. Eastern Standard Time). Thursday, January 27 · The farthest-north part of the ecliptic crosses the midline of the Milky Way near the feet of Gemini, the top of Orion's Club, and the horns of Taurus — a beautiful rich field for binocular cruising. · Friday, January 28 · Is your sky dark enough for you to see the Great Andromeda Galaxy? It's just off the knee of the Andromeda stick figure. The brighter, sharper bottom-point of the Cassiopeia "W" points to it. · During dawn Saturday morning, the waning crescent Moon has bright Venus to its left.
