Get the buzz on this stellar beehive 🐝

All throughout January 2026, the Beehive Cluster will be visible in the night sky. It is an open star cluster made of at least a thousand loosely-bound stars.

For your best chance of seeing the Beehive, look to the eastern night sky between sunset and midnight in mid-January. If you find dark skies, you might be able to see the cluster with just your eyes, but binoculars or a telescope can help!
