A Happy New Year to all stargazers!

EYES ON THE NIGHT SKY: DECEMBER 2018

Welcome to December’s edition of Eyes on the Night Sky. This month heralds the Christmas season, with many of us putting up beautiful light displays to celebrate this joyous time. Take time this month to get outside and look up at the natural Christmas lights, preferably in a place with little or no light pollution. There are plenty of treats to be discovered with the unaided eyes, binoculars and telescopes. We have selected a few of many celestial wonders, including a great meteor shower.
