When to look: From 12am – 4am, 1st January

Which direction to look: Very low to the western horizon

 

Something Interesting:

You may be familiar with “The Saucepan” the group of stars shaped like a sauce pan. While not recognised by the International Astronomy Union as a constellation, it is recognised as an asterism –  a prominent group of stars in a pattern that is smaller than a constellation.
