STAR TRAK for December
1 Dec 2008, 14:00 UTC
The annual Geminid meteor shower, which will reach its maximum on the night of Dec. 13-14, usually offers the best show of the year. But this time the Geminids will peak just a day after full moon, so only the brightest streaks will be visible. Venus and Jupiter will complete a spectacular conjunction low in the southwestern sky after sunset on Dec. 1, when the two planets will be joined by the crescent moon.
