In December's 2024 night sky, stargazers will see the Geminid and Ursid meteor showers, planets, and more to close out the year.

The December 2024 Sky Guide from Travel + Leisure highlights several celestial events for stargazers. The month kicks off with the peak of the Geminid meteor shower on December 13-14, known for its bright and colorful meteors, potentially offering up to 120 meteors per hour under optimal conditions. Following this, the Ursid meteor shower will peak on December 21-22, though it's less prolific with about 5-10 meteors per hour. Additionally, December features the winter solstice on December 21, marking the shortest day and longest night in the Northern Hemisphere. The full moon, known as the Cold Moon, will grace the skies on December 15, appearing larger and brighter due to its proximity to Earth. Lastly, the guide mentions the visibility of planets like Jupiter and Saturn, with Jupiter being particularly bright and observable throughout the night.
