Observing With Webb - December Episode

Why get out there in the cold of December?  It’s a time of transitions and wonder.  We’ve got a meteor shower, plenty of lunar encounters, Comet Leonard, planets visible but changing, and very long nights.   Welcome to Observing With Webb, where a high school astronomy teacher tells you what you’re looking at, why it’s so cool, and what you should check out later this month…at night.    December 13th – 14th – Geminid Meteor Shower – This is a decent year for the strongest annual meteor shower known as the Geminids, especially if you don’t mind getting up early.   We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs.  Just visit: https://www.patreon.com/365DaysOfAstronomy and donate as much as you can!
