The next nine days will be something for sky watchers to behold, with the sparkling Geminid Meteor Shower followed by the Great Conjunction of 2020, when Jupiter and Saturn will appear closer to each other than they have since Galileo gazed skyward four centuries ago. The Geminid Meteor Shower is among the best of the year.. Most observers lie on a blanket or sit back on a chair and look up at the sky.

Such an event is called a conjunction, and the next one occurs December 21.
