I'm sure they have hacked and secured whatever information they wanted and have moved on to their next target...

I’m a longtime member of the St Louis Astronomical Society and Astronomical League. I enjoy astrophotography and volunteer with star parties continuing my practice as an astronomy instructor in public school.

Venus, shines brightly in the southwest at twilight. It sets to the west 2Β½ hours after dark. Capella is overhead, and Rigel, in Orion's right foot, have almost the same right ascension crossing the sky’s meridian around 9 p.m. As Capella passes its highest point, Rigel marks true south.

Navigating the December morning sky is a great way to start your day! Here are some events for 5 am along the middle northern latitudes:
Jupiter shines low in the west-northwest. Mars slides away from the Beehive cluster in Cancer and on Dec. 18 the bright gibbous Moon lies directly north of Mars.
