What to look up for

Published January 6, 2025

My dad shared this post with me - 11 must-see astronomy events in 2025 - which covers great things to look up for, lunar eclipses, shooting stars, and the planets doing all kinds of wonderful things. The post is geared slightly towards a North American audience, so I went looking to see if there was anything similar for UK stargazers. Of course, the Royal Observatory has me covered.

Find out what to see in the night sky this year with astronomers from the Royal Observatory Greenwich.

To find out which stars and constellations are visible in the sky each month, read our monthly night sky highlights blog, or pick up a copy of the 2025 Guide to the Night Sky publication.

You can also explore the pages below to find the best dates to look for meteor showers, full moons, eclipses and more.

So much to explore, and I just wanted to share in case anyone else wants to look up at the night sky with me.
