Advent can be a wonderful way to count down to Christmas. Unistellar Ambassador John Pickering had the idea to post a new astronomical image, taken this year, each day as we count down to Christmas.

No caption on the image for this one. The faint line underneath the star at center is NASA's Artemis I spacecraft, photographed December 8, 2022. |

My Astro Advent for December 15th was an asteroid occultation that I observed this month as asteroid 1264 Letaba passed in front of a star.
