THE CONSTELLATION GEMINI WILL BE BIG AND BRIGHT IN FEBRUARY.
For February 2026 stargazing in Florida, look for events like the Winter Star Party (Feb. 16 – 22) in the Keys, a D Ranch Preserve Star Party (Feb. 21) near Osteen, astronomy nights at Big Cypress National Preserve (Feb. 21), and Florida SouthWestern State College’s Observatory Public Session (Feb. 20), offering telescopes and expert guidance under darker skies for viewing constellations like Gemini and winter deep-sky objects.
WHAT TO LOOK FOR …
• Constellations: Look for Northern Hemisphere winter constellations like Gemini, Auriga, and Monoceros, plus Southern Hemisphere ones like Orion and Canis Major (home to Sirius).
• Deep-Sky Objects: The Clownface Nebula (planetary nebula) in Gemini is visible with binoculars or small telescopes.
• Planets and Clusters: Expect views of planets, star clusters, nebulae, and galaxies through provided telescopes.
