January night skies are full of exciting action. You will be able to see the planets Jupiter and Saturn above, Mars is an easy spot, and there is a chance to view Mercury. There are six January constellations in the nighttime sky that can be scanned from your own backyard. Many of the bright stars overhead in winter appear in the east, and these are often some of the most recognizable constellations, such as Orion and Taurus.
