Skywatchers will have plenty to look for in December.

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration said there will be meteors, comets and planetary alignments to watch for throughout the month.

Mars and Neptune will be visible above the crescent moon this month, and Mercury, Venus and Mars are visible above the sunset horizon all month long, with Venus expected to look larger than it did in November.

There also are two meteor showers in December, the Geminids, which will be most visible around Dec. 13 and 14, and the Ursids, with best viewing anticipated from Dec. 21 to 22, and Dec. 23 and 24.

Beginning in December and continuing through 2017, there will be several comets visible.
