Here are the events to add to your calendar.

January

The first month of the year will bring a lesser-known meteor shower and some planetary action.

Viewing is best in the Northern Hemisphere.

Jan. 13: Wolf Moon.

Jan. 15: Mars at opposition.

Peak Mars viewing is happening in January.

When at opposition, the Red Planet’s entire illuminated face is toward Earth.

Look for it in the eastern sky as the sun sets toward the west.

The parade actually begins on Jan. 10 when the Moon joins up with Jupiter and continues through February.

Saturn will drop off mid-month, but tiny Mercury will be barely visible in the parade on Feb. 28.

March

March has a pair of eclipses:

March 14: Total lunar eclipse.

As the moon passes through Earth’s shadow, it’ll cast a deep red hue.

March 26: Partial solar eclipse.

If you’re able to’t travel to see it, you canwatch the livestream on YouTube.

Around 1020 meteors (and possibly fireballs) are visible per hour in ideal conditions.

For best viewing, look for the shower before the moon rises.

Viewers in the Southern Hemisphere may see up to 60 meteors per hour.

Those in the Northern Hemisphere will still get a show, but a less spectacular one.

July

TheDelta AquaridsandAlpha Capricornidsare both peaking at the end of July (2930).

The sky should be relatively dark for good viewing.

However, it may still be worth looking for, as it often produces nearly 100 meteors per hour.

September

Saturn will be at opposition on the night of Sept. 21.

(There’s also a second partial solar eclipse visible from New Zealand on the same day.)

The moon will be only 2% full, leaving the sky dark for solid viewing.

The shower produces 1020 meteors per hour.

November

The moon and meteors will light up the sky in November:

Nov. 5: Supermoon.

The second supermoon of 2025 will be the biggest and brightest since 2019 thanks to its proximity to Earth.

Nov. 1617:Leonid meteor shower.

In idea conditions, the Leonids, which come from the 55P/Temple-Tuttle comet, produce 1015 meteors per hour.

On peak night in 2025, the moon will be just 9% full.

Unlike 2024, the moon won’t interfere with viewing.
