We've all heard it told: "days get shorter in the Winter". But since today is the December Solstice, the first day of Winter and shortest day of the year (in the North), that means the days instead get **longer** in the Winter.

On this eve, both near and far
The almost-full Moon
Visits a stunning bright star.

Wait a moment — just a minute.
That’s a planet. And not a star.
Discover Jupiter, by Jove.
And a good sense of where we are.
