For skywatchers looking up after nightfall on Sunday or Monday (Jan. 9 or 10), you'll be able to see a thickening crescent moon pass well to the north of the brilliant planet Jupiter.
On Sunday evening, look toward the western sky and you'll see the moon with Jupiter shining about 7 degrees to its upper left. Your clenched fist held at arm's length measures roughly 10 degrees, so the distance separating Jupiter and the moon will measure almost three-quarters of a fist.
