Bright stars and planets in December’s eastern sky
December marks winter’s onset with the solstice on the 22nd. Orion dominates the eastern sky with Sirius shining in Canis Major, while Jupiter outshines Sirius in the southwest at dusk. Mars appears faint in Capricornus, Venus glows near sunset late in the month, and Saturn rises in Virgo before midnight.
