What's in the Sky February 2026

Evie Reyes

February brings some of winter’s best stargazing, with the Full Snow Moon lighting up the early part of the month and darker skies around the New Moon perfect for deep-sky exploring. Bright Jupiter, the reddish glow of Mars, and a beautiful Venus–Saturn pairing at dusk make this a rewarding month for planetary observing, while classic winter constellations like Orion and Taurus dominate the night sky. Bundle up, grab your binoculars or telescope, and enjoy the beauty of February’s crisp, star-filled nights.
