January, 2012: The sky this month as seen from Kidderminster, Worcestershire, UK.

This page was last amended on 31st December, 2011.

This website, in common with most astronomers the world over, operates on UT (Universal Time, same as GMT) throughout the year unless otherwise specified. Times quoted are, however, only "best estimates" and no responsibility can be accepted for errors.

Whilst most of the information in this section is a hopefully a useful guide to the sky this month anywhere in the UK, it is specifically applicable to Kidderminster and its immediate surrounding area, and some of the data (e.g., times of Sunrise and Sunset) will be noticeably different in other areas of the UK and the rest of the World.
