Happy belated...

Happy belated winter solstice! (Happy summer solstice for you southerners.)



And happy "Great Conjunction"?


Did anybody else keep an eye on the Jupiter + Saturn show? I had been watching them creep closer ever since the summer. But it was cloudy here on the big day (21st - solstice day, coincidentally). So I had to be content with a brief glimpse the next evening.


Also, happy Perihelion day (2nd).



Any other noteworthy celestial goings-ons?



I'm still surprised I only realized last year that the moon does the opposite to the sun - ie. it's highest arc through the sky is in the winter. So last week's full moon was the highest/brightest (?) of the year.
