Video captured what looks like space debris in the sky, which is "left over" from the Starlink-5693 launch vehicle, according to aerospace.org.
It's hard to believe that we're already saying goodbye to January. As we do, there is plenty to look forward to in February, especially for skywatchers.
As far as space events go, February offers a glimpse of Venus at its brightest point of the year, a seven-planet alignment and the snow moon.
The Alpha Centaurids meteor shower will happen this month, but it won't be visible for those of us living in the northern hemisphere.
We'll also get a chance to see a handful of comets, like C/2022 E2 (ATLAS) in the constellation Cassiopeia and Comet 29P/Schwassmann-Wachmann, which orbits between Jupiter and Neptune.
Here's when you'll see the next full moon, comets constellations and more.
Venus will shine its brightest in February
Stars get a lot of attention for shining bright, but planets shine, too. In fact, Venus will hit its brightest peak of the year on Feb. 16, according to the Old Farmer's Almanac.
Venus will have a magnitude of -4.8, which is bright enough to cast shadows on Earth. Magnitude is the measure of the brightness of celestial objects. The lower the number, the brighter the object is.
During this time, that means Venus will be the second brightest thing in the night sky, with the moon being the brightest.
Venus will be accompanied by Mercury, Mars and Jupiter, which will have magnitudes of -1.5, -0.7 and -2.4, respectively.
February will have a seven-planet alignment
While January had an exciting planetary alignment, February won't be outdone. Seven planets will align in the night sky just after sunset on Feb. 28.
People in the northern hemisphere will be able to see Saturn, Mercury, Neptune, Venus, Uranus, Jupiter and Mars during the planetary parade.
The next full moon is the snow moon. Catch it on Feb. 12
The next full moon will happen on Feb. 12. Known as the snow moon, it will hit its full phase at 7:53 a.m. CT.
Moon phases for February 2025
Here's a look at the rest of the moon phases for February 2025:
Constellation Orion the Hunter will be one of the brightest constellations in the sky. You can spot it by looking for the three stars that make Orion's belt and then looking for the bright red star, Betelgeuse, which makes up the constellation's shoulder.
The Big Dipper will also be easy to spot, according to the almanac. You can find it by looking up high in the northeastern sky. It consists of seven bright stars.
In the northern hemisphere, you'll be able to spot the zodiacal constellations Cancer, Gemini, Leo and Taurus, plus Auriga and Monoceros.
February comets
February's two comets will be impossible to spot without a telescope, but it's a great opportunity to find local skywatcher groups to watch together.
C/2022 E2 (ATLAS) can be seen in mid-northern latitudes in the constellation Cassiopeia. It's dim, with a magnitude of 13. You'll need at least an 8-inch telescope to spot it, according to Star Walk. It can be seen all night.
Comet 29P/Schwassmann-Wachmann will appear between Jupiter and Neptune in February. It also has a magnitude of 13 and will be visible all night.
