Tonight's Sky: December 2011

The mid-December night sky hosts a lovely meteor shower. From
December 13th to 14th, the bright and fast Geminids will skip across the
upper atmosphere. Watch for meteors zipping away from the constellation
Gemini after midnight.
Many skywatchers will enjoy a lunar eclipse on December 10. This
happens when the Moon passes through Earth’s shadow. The Moon does
not quite disappear but turns a coppery red. Viewers in North America will
see the eclipsed Moon sink into the western horizon before dawn.
