This Day in History, December 19, 2018

This December brings the Geminids, a comet and a fond farewell. You can see the Geminid meteor shower peak Dec. 13-14, with best viewing from dark sky locations after midnight local time. This is Jane Houston Jones' final episode of "What's Up," which she has written and hosted since 2007. The series has covered the day and nighttime sky, from sunsets to eclipses, planets, comets and beyond, and will continue to do so in 2019 with a new voice.
