Since its debut in 1990, The Wheel of Time(R) by Robert Jordan has captivated millions of readers around the globe with its scope, originality, and compelling characters. By the end of the year Saturn is deeply mired in the horizon mirk by the end of civil twilight, just about signalling the end of its 2021 apparition.

The servant carried along on his way with the coal, reaching the farm safely. Yet the servant always carried rowan with him on future journeys to ensure he was never caught out again (Richardson 1846: 184). Silky’s Seat Title 14: Aeronautics and Space PART 1 – Definitions".

Venus maintains its elevation for the first three weeks or so of December, but by the start of the last week of the year it sinks rapidly towards the horizon. Venus’ phase shrinks and its disc swells as its elongation from the Sun decreases. On Christmas Day, Venus sports a seven-per cent-illuminated disc spanning nearly a degree. Jupiter and Saturn near to the end of their visibility

As December opens, from the south of England Venus lies slightly under 13 degrees high above the south-south-western horizon at sunset, which from London occurs at about 4pm GMT. In Edinburgh, Venus lies at an altitude of around nine degrees at sunset (~3.45pm GMT). Town and city dwellers will need to seek out a view free from obstructing building and trees to watch Venus materialise out of the diminishing twilight as it descends towards the horizon as early evening wears on. In Crossroads of Twilight, the tenth novel in Robert Jordan’s #1 New York Times bestselling epic fantasy series, The Wheel of Time®, Rand al'Thor and his allies endure trials by fire amidst battles, sacrifices, and treachery. Major cities that near astronomical twilight from nautical dusk to nautical dawn: Khabarovsk (48°29'0"N), Dnipro (48°27'0"N), Victoria (48°25'42"N), Saguenay (48°25′0"N), Brest (48°23′26"N), Thunder Bay (48°22′56″N), Vienna (48°12′30″N), Bratislava (48°8′38″N), Munich (48°8'0"N), Seattle (47°36’35"N) I owe Robert Jordan so much. Without him, modern fantasy would be bereft of the expansive, deep worlds and the giant casts which I love so dearly. It's not often I can look at another author and say: that person paved my way. But such is exactly the case with Jordan." --Jenn Lyons, author of The Ruin of Kings The Wheel of Time [is] rapidly becoming the definitive American fantasy saga. It is a fantasy tale seldom equaled and still less often surpassed in English." -- Chicago Sun-Times

I don’t know anybody who’s been as formative in crafting me as a writer as [Robert Jordan], and for that I will be forever grateful.” —Tochi Onyebuchi, author of Riot Baby and War Girls These are the largest cities of their respective countries where the various twilights can continue through local solar midnight:Observers within 63°25'00" of the Equator can view twilight twice each day on every date from the month of the autumnal equinox to the month of vernal equinox between astronomical dawn, nautical dawn, or civil dawn, and sunrise as well as between sunset and civil dusk, nautical dusk, or astronomical dusk, i.e., from September 1 to March 31 of the following year in the Northern Hemisphere and from March 1 to September 30 in the Southern Hemisphere. In the months of March or September after the equinoxes, both astronomical dawn and astronomical dusk occurs at latitudes less than 67°45' North or South, because in the months of March or September after the equinoxes the Sun’s declination is less than 4°15' from the Equator; By the end of civil twilight, the brightest period of the three phases of twilight which ends when the centre of the Sun lies more than six degrees below the horizon, at about 40 minutes after sunset, Venus has slipped to an altitude of 10 degrees from London. A small telescope can reveal Venus’ 28.2-per cent- illuminated disc spanning nearly 40 arcseconds. Venus will exhibit a 25.6 per cent phase on 4 December 2021, as it did when this image was shot on 21 February 2009. Image: Damian Peach.

Indeed, this could explain the third Silky that appears in the records in the north east. According to Henderson, some thought she was a ghost. During William III’s reign, the Duke of Argyle had a mistress. He lived at Chirton, near North Shields. This mistress died suddenly at Chirton, “not without suspicion of murder” (Henderson 1879: 270). The idea of a vengeful spirit fits in with late 19th century ideas about ghosts. Venus, Saturn and Jupiter are joined in the early-evening sky soon after sunset by a waxing crescent Moon. Watch it as it passes each planet over the course of 6th to 9th December.

From London, there’s about a 90-minute-observing window before Jupiter dips below 20 degrees in altitude, though the planet is probably already beyond meaningful observation. However, a pair of 10 x 50 binoculars can show Jupiter’s four bright Galilean moons, while a small telescope reveals the planet’s major dark belts and bright zones in any moments of steady seeing. A casual Google searchunearths tales of paranormal activity in the area.It’s not for me to say what’s true and what isn’t.K. M. Briggs notes that the tales of the Denton Hall Silky actually continued into the late 19th and early 20th centuries (1961: 512). She noted that a woman named Mrs Warner, a member of a Quaker family in Northumberland, continued the story for her. As the story went, Mrs Warner’s mother used to visit two old ladies who lived at Denton Hall when Mrs Warner was a girl. Naturally, she took the young Mrs Warner with her, and these visits occurred between 1887 and 1902. Under good atmospheric conditions with the absence of other illumination, during nautical twilight, the human eye may distinguish general outlines of ground objects but cannot participate in detailed outdoor operations.
