Canada is suspending all commercial and private passenger flights from the United Kingdom for 72 hours after a genetic variant of the virus that causes COVID-19 was identified.

Passengers from the U.K. who arrived in Canada on Sunday — or even recently — will have to go through “secondary screening and enhanced measures, including increased scrutiny of quarantine plans.”

Today is first day of winter.

The winter solstice is the day with the fewest hours of sunlight in the whole year, making it the “shortest day” of the year. Thankfully, after we reach the winter solstice, the days begin to once again grow longer and longer.

Jupiter and Saturn doing a planetary dance that will result in the Great Conjunction tonight. They  will be right next to each other in the sky – the closest they have appeared in nearly 400 years!

An hour after sunset, look to the southwestern sky. Jupiter will look like a bright star and be easily visible. Saturn will be slightly fainter and will appear slightly above and to the left of Jupiter until December 21, when Jupiter will overtake it and they will reverse positions in the sky.
