🔭 What can you see in the December skies? A string of sunset planets, a chance to see 2021's brightest comet, and the annual Geminid meteor shower.⁣ ⁣ On December 6 through 10, look westward following sunset for the Moon visiting Venus, Saturn, and Jupiter in turn. The Moon's crescent fills out as it appears higher in the sky each evening over the course of the week. On December 12, recently-discovered comet Leonard will be at its closest to Earth, just a couple of weeks before it reaches its closest distance from the Sun. You'll probably need binoculars to spot it.⁣ ⁣ Finally, this year's Geminid meteor shower peaks overnight on December 13-14, and is best observed after the Moon sets. The meteors appear to radiate from the constellation Gemini, which you'll find high in the west.
