Beginning this evening the moon is at its closest approach to earth. This is known as Perigee. As a consequence, the moon will appear larger and brighter in the January night sky.
Tomorrow Saturn will be making a close approach to the moon and they will appear together. While visible to the naked eye, a pair of binoculars is recommended. This might be an opportunity for someone with a good camera to capture an image of both celestial bodies in the same frame.
