In this episode, Astronomy magazine Editor Emeritus Dave Eicher invites you to head out late in the evening of December 9 and during the early morning hours of December 10 to watch the Moon pass by Regulus. This blue-white star is the Alpha star in the constellation Leo the Lion and was considered one of the four Royal Stars to the ancient Persians. Good luck!
