Venus still stands high above the eastern horizon on these late fall mornings, now shining at magnitude -4.16 and with a diameter of 16.6" on this date.  Venus is still well north of the ecliptic, now at 2°13'25" north of the Earth's orbital plane.  The meteor flashing through Libra toward Zubenelgenubi (α Librae) must be a sporadic since it doesn't seem to correspond with any of the known showers in December.
