This is not intended to be comprehensive - it is a quick guide to help you find a few things in the night sky without any equipment - just your eyes.
All of these are very bright and easy to find when walking around the village.
I hope that you got to see the two partial eclipses last month.
The planets – again lots to see this month!
Mercury is very low in the East at sunrise it is very low and hard to see as it is close to the Sun.
Venus - The brightest object in the sky, (after the Sun and the Moon) - is now a morning object rising at 5:30am in the East - and rising at 4:30am by the end of the Month
Saturn is too low to see.
Mars glowing red most of the night! It is high in the South at sunset at the beginning of the month. It is seen setting in the west at 4:30am and 2am at the end of the month.
Jupiter is very bright. At sunset it is high in the SW - sets in the west around 1:30am at the beginning of the month and sets in the West at midnight at the end of the month.
Moon - the full Moon rises in the East on the 13th at sunset.
ISS - There are no bright well placed International Space Station passes (ISS) this month.
Lyrids meteor shower from the 16th to the 25th. They peak on the 22nd - so they can be best in the early hours and in the evening. There is up to 18 per hour. Here is a video of how to see them...
