What are some skywatching highlights in December 2024? This month, enjoy dazzling views of Venus as the "Evening Star," Jupiter at its brightest during opposition, and Mars doubling in brightness, and look for the Winter Triangle. The Geminid meteor shower peaks under challenging moonlight conditions, but you might get lucky and catch a shooting star that week before sunrise!
