Tune in to your monthly stargazing companion with Leon and Beth as they explore the Borloo night sky this December. Marvel at Venus shining brightly in the western sky after sunset, now at its maximum elongation. Journey south to spot the faint Southern Birds constellations—Grus, Tucana, Phoenix, and Pavo. In the east, find Orion's Belt leading to Sirius, the brightest star, and Jupiter, which is at its stunning opposition. Look north to explore Cetus, the sea monster, and learn its mythological ties to Andromeda and Pegasus. Early risers, don’t miss the Geminids meteor shower peaking on December 14th, offering meteors every few minutes before sunrise. Plus, celebrate the summer solstice on December 21st, marking the longest day of the year, and wish a happy birthday to a very influential person on December 25th.
