Jupiter and Saturn aligned
Jupiter and Saturn aligned on December 21st. It is the Christmas star. Visible today, the day of the winter solstice, between 5 pm and 6 pm. A phenomenon that has not been repeated for almost four hundred years. In addition, you can also admire the alignment between the Moon and Mars. If, towards the time of sunset, you look at the horizon down towards the southwest, you can observe with the naked eye the very close conjunction of the giant planets of our solar system: Jupiter and Saturn. These planets will be seen with the naked eye but they will be indistinguishable individually because they will appear superimposed. The unusual astronomical phenomenon is naturally only an effect of perspective. Jupiter and Saturn will actually be nearly a billion kilometers apart. But the truly extraordinary thing is that Saturn, Jupiter and Earth will be on the same line.
