Look west on late January evenings after sunset to see a young crescent Moon moving closer to Venus every night. Start looking for the Moon close to the horizon on January 27th, when it will be a very slender crescent, and watch over the next few nights as it grows. This view is for January 29th.

Turn around and look southeast to see Orion and his two dogs rising.
