Dec. 7, 2025 night sky snapshot (evening) All month, very bright Jupiter shines bright in the evening east, near the asterism the Winter Hexagon formed by six bright stars. Jupiter outshines them all, being more than twice as bright as the brightest star in the night sky, Sirius. The Moon joins the party on Dec. 7. (Pasadena, California.
