Don't forget to look at the sky today Evening

Look up the sky today Evening!



The moon and its planetary pals are putting up quite a show and on Sunday, 12 December, and stargazers will be provided with a spectacular celestial showcase.

From 6-10 December, one will be able to see three planets, and then on 12 December, you will be able to see five planets.

In addition to this, there will also be a crescent moon, making it easier to see the planets.

According to astronomers, Jupiter, Saturn and Venus and the moon will line up and appear to the naked eye.

If that isn't enough of a reason to look up, the Geminid meteor shower will also streak through the sky.

According to NASA, the Geminids, which happen every December, are "one of the best and most reliable annual meteor showers."

Peter Brown, an astronomy professor at Western University in London, Ontario, who studies meteor showers goes further, calling it the "strongest meteor shower of the year."
