	Planets before dawn - 19 December 2012 Submitted by: Beth Katz at 2012-12-19 12:56:01 I really wish we had some aurora photos here. :-( Mercury is low in the orange glow this morning just above the lower left tree branch. Venus bright. Saturn up in the clouds. Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Copyright (c) 2012 Beth Katz, katz@cs.millersville.edu.
	Planets before dawn - 14 December 2012 Submitted by: Beth Katz at 2012-12-14 13:06:01 Unexpectedly caught two interlopers from Libra in the photo although it's the planets that are wandering past the stars. Starting lower left. Mercury low. Bright Venus. Then the two from Libra sort of sideways (one above Venus; one in treetop). Saturn. Spica - α Virginis. The one in the tree is α Librae - Zubenelgenubi. The one above Venus is β Librae - Zubeneschamali. Photo taken 14 December 2012 from Lancaster County, Pennsylvania.

	Planets before dawn - 11 December 2012 Submitted by: Beth Katz at 2012-12-12 14:05:01 On December 11, 2012, the Moon was part of the scene from Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Again we have Mercury at lower left. Brighter Venus is near the Moon. Dim Saturn is above the tree in the clouds. Too many clouds Dec 10 and Dec 12 for comparison photos.

	Planets before dawn - 3 December 2012 Submitted by: Beth Katz at 2012-12-04 13:34:01 Note how the planets change position over the course of a few days. No wonder the ancients called them wanderers. Mercury at lower left, bright Venus, dimmer Saturn, and finally star Spica at upper right. From Lancaster County, Pennsylvania about 6:15am 3 December 2012.

2012-12-20 08:40:00 UTC: N89.25 W132 - The Woodlands tx, 77381

I was driving home from work when at approximately 2:40AM central time I saw a very large portion of the sky directly in front of me violently flash between pink blue and green for approximately 5 seconds. At first I thought it was an exotic frm of lightning since we just had a a short storm with massive gusts roughly 45 minutes before I witnessed the event but I am know fairly sure I witnessed an aurora after viewing many pictures of auroras online.
