    Jan 1, 09:30 UTC. Mercury passes behind the Sun and is lost in the glare for a while.
  2. Jan3
    Venus at greatest western elongation (47°)
    Jan 3, 18:00 UTC. Venus is as far from the Sun as it gets on this pass, 47°, in the morning sky before sunrise.
  3. Jan4
    Quadrantids peak
    Jan 4, 03:25 UTC; up to 80 (60–200) meteors an hour under ideal skies (ZHR). Moon 12% lit at the peak. Northern hemisphere. Best time for your city →
  4. Jan4
    The Moon near Antares (0.3°)
    Jan 4, around 17h UTC. Geocentric; from your location the gap differs by up to about 1°.
  5. Jan7
    New Moon
    Jan 7, 20:24 UTC. The dark-sky window: the best week for faint objects and meteors.
  6. Jan18
    The Moon near the Pleiades (1.1°)

Jan 22, 12:17 UTC (Jan 22, 7:17 am in New York, Jan 22, 12:17 pm in London). Traditional name: Wolf Moon.

When is the new Moon in January 2027?

Jan 7, 20:24 UTC. The nights around it are the darkest of the month.

What planets are visible in January 2027?

From New York: evening: Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn; before dawn: Venus. From Sydney: evening: Mars, Jupiter, Saturn; before dawn: Venus. The tables above give times and directions for each city.

Are there meteor showers in January 2027?

Quadrantids: peak Jan 4, 03:25 UTC, ZHR 80 (60–200).

Computed by us from JPL's DE440 planetary ephemeris with Skyfield: phases, positions, magnitudes (Mallama & Hilton), separations, equinoxes and solstices. Full Moon names are the traditional North American ones. Meteor showers: International Meteor Organization. Eclipses: Fred Espenak, NASA GSFC. Planet times ignore hills and buildings; a planet 5° up needs a clear, low horizon.
