There\u2019s lots to see in the night sky in February 2022.<\/p>\n

Early in the month, you should be able to see Comet 19P Borley<\/a> near the crescent Moon.<\/p>\n

Later on in the month, the Moon makes its journey through the Hyades and Pleiades in the constellation of Taurus<\/a> before passing past Castor and Pollux in Gemini on 12 and 13 February.<\/p>\n

By 20 to 21st the double star Porrima will be well placed to view.<\/p>\n

Then towards the end of the month, minor worlds Vesta and Ceres<\/a> will make a good show.<\/p>\n
