December's Celestial Show: Jupiter, Venus, and Meteor Magic

December's night sky offers a celestial spectacle with Venus shining as the "Evening Star," Jupiter at its brightest during opposition, and Mars increasing in brightness. The Winter Triangle, formed by Sirius, Procyon, and Betelgeuse, dominates the sky, while the Geminid meteor shower peaks under challenging moonlit conditions. Key events include Venus pairing with the crescent Moon, Jupiter flanked by the Moon and Aldebaran, and Mars nearing opposition. The winter solstice on December 21 marks the start of the new season.
