Sky Guide December 2014

What to look out, and up, for in December.


We start with the broad constellation of Gemini and an easy
binary star, a planetary nebula and a group of star clusters for
astronomy beginners to find, before emabarking on a spot of
exogazing!


Next up is the return of resplendent Jupiter and Venus to our
skies. We bring you the phases and conjunctions of the moon and
the Geminid meteor shower in December. Then we round up the best
of the deep sky offerings for the month in the winter
constellations of Orion, Eridanus & Lepus.
