Astro News December 2025

The Large Magellanic Cloud is well placed for viewing in the southern sky, with the impressive Tarantula Nebula visible through binoculars. Our Constellation of the Month explores the enduring mystery of the Star of Bethlehem and the astronomical events that may have inspired this ancient account.
