BAJA NIGHT SKIES -- CHRISTMAS 2012:  The winter solstice in the northern hemisphere occurred December 21, when the sun "stood still"  at its most southerly position on the horizon. The Mayans and other ancient cultures noted this event annually, but it usually took another 4 days, until December 25, to be sure the sun was once again starting its march north hearlding longer days. Many cultures celebrated this event around December 25, and the date for Christmas was chosen to coincide with these ancient celebrations. A Christmas Iridium Flare: If  Baja skies are clear Christmas night, an Iridium Flare will briefly flash low in the southern sky (30 degrees elevation, 10 degrees west of due south) at 6:32:10pm (10/20 seconds later in LB/CSL).  After the flare, check out Jupiter and the Moon rising in the east. All Christmas night, there will be a spectacular pairing of an almost-full-moon with the planet Jupiter. Like a diamond on a ring, Jupiter will sparkle on the moon's edge at the 11 o'clock position. Thanks go to the person who turned off all electricity to La Ventana/El Sargento for 4 hours the night of the Geminids shower. Unfortunately, clouds hid the shower from view. Remember, when clouds hide night skies, you can see shooting stars in someone's eyes. In other locations the shower was impressive. NASA cameras in Cartersville, Georgia, photographed a Geminids meteor that flared brighter than the moon.  A Full Moon will rise soon after 6:20pm on Friday evening, December 28.  In La Ventana/El Sargento, look for it to rise a few minutes later from behind the south end of Cerralvo.            Tom
