THURSDAY, DECEMBER 1 The Moon has a busy month, and it gets to work on Day 1 by sidling up to Jupiter, approaching to within 21/2° at its closest. What time that occurs depends on where you are. For observers on the West Coast, it's conveniently early, at around 9 p.m. PST. On the East Coast, however, prime time will be just after midnight when the night of December 1st transitions to the morning of the 2nd. Regardless of the hour, Jupiter and the waxing gibbous Moon will be nice and close whenever you look.
