Chart Caption - 2022, December 9: Mars is east-northeast after sunset.

Author's Notes: Five bright planets are visible simultaneously later during December. "That bright star" in the southeastern sky after sundown is Jupiter. After sunset, Jupiter, Saturn, and Mars are strung across the sky. Mars is in the east-northeast, Jupiter in the south, and Saturn in the southwest.
