What's up in the night sky in December?
Catch the Geminids meteor shower as the peak coincides with darker skies during a new Moon. Plus, Jupiter and Saturn appear closer than in decades, and the winter solstice arrives. When & where to observe: LINK

For those who enjoy this kind of stuff I will bump this thread on December 21st as a reminder.
Please do.
I fully expect it to be quite cloudy all night, making seeing the stars and what not impossible.

I'll bet it will be cloudy that night so we can't see it.

I think you have to be out west to see this phenomenon. We won't see it from where we're at

Yes, please bump this on the 21st, thanks

I've watched Jupiter and Saturn each night over the past couple months. I put an app on my phone and was shocked how easy it was to see both of them when I realized those two stars were them.
Jupiter and Saturn are planets, not stars.

So, that's what you kids call it nowadays. Back in my time, we just called it "buggery"

While this is quite a cool, and rare event, it is, in fact, fake news.
