December closes 2024 with highlights for stargazers, including meteor showers, lunar occultations, and planet watching, particularly the spectacular visibility of Jupiter.
The peak period of aurora activity, known as solar maximum, makes December the ideal time for a bucket-list trip to witness the northern lights.
On Dec. 7, Jupiter will reach opposition, shining at a magnitude of -2.8, and will be an easily spotted bright object in the night sky.
The close approach of the Moon and Saturn on Dec. 7, along with Venus, offers a fantastic opportunity for stargazers, especially in parts of Asia.
