Hey everybody, welcome to this December solstice edition of the Urban Astronomer Podcast starring Clem Unger and myself! It's only a few days till Christmas, so we hope you all have a wonderful festive season and a joyful new year. It's generally agreed that 2018 was a bit of a bust, but in just over a week we get to start over and see if we can have a better run of it this time around.

In this episode:

8:40 Sky Guide: What's happening in the sky that's worth looking for between now and the March Equinox.

19:10 The Star of Bethlehem: Since it's Christmas time, let's have another crack at solving this old chestnut.
