Equatorial Sky Guide For February

The 365 Days of Astronomy · Feb 7, 2026 · 1m

Hosted by Avivah Yamani, our Director. February 2026 is packed for stargazers at the equator, with a dusk-time planet parade, dark New Moon skies for astrophotography, and the year's first "Ring of Fire" annular solar eclipse on February 17 (visible from Antarctica). Catch beautiful Moon pairings with Antares, Saturn, the Pleiades, and Jupiter, and join the Globe at Night campaign to help measure light pollution in your area. We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs. Just visit: https://www.patreon.com/365DaysOfAstronomy and…
