The first full moon of the year will glide through the sky on Monday night. For lucky stargazers in some parts of the world, it will also pass in front of the more-brilliantly-red-than-usual Mars in an event known as a lunar occultation.<\/p>\n

But that\u2019s not all January\u2019s sky has to offer. A new comet, expected to be the brightest of the year<\/a>, is nearing its closest approach to the sun on Monday \u2014 though spotting it, at least in northern skies, will be tricky.<\/p>\n
