This Month’s Sky

It will be another fabulous planet viewing month in our evening sky! Golden colored Saturn is easy to find in the
south and southwestern sky, after sunset (Illustration 1).
Brilliant Jupiter rises about 8:00pm on December 1 and 
two hours earlier by December 31. (Illustration2). 

On December 21, we celebrate the Winter Solstice, or the first day of winter, here in the Northern Hemisphere. Although this begins the winter season, when we step out on a clear night, the brightest stars of the year put on a dazzling show for us!

Also, we welcome back our most magnificent picture in the stars, Orion, the Hunter Around 7:00 pm we will begin our hike. We need to put on our winter coats, hats, gloves, and boots. Grab your Starry Trail map and binoculars and let’s enjoy the brightest stars of the year and fabulous star hopping!
