And holiday aficionados are calling this bright conjunction, happening so close to Christmas Day, the “Christmas star.”Basically, it’s going to be cool. “I think that's something that we still have now.”Some form of conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn happens about every 20 years. “Jupiter will be brighter than Saturn because it’s closer to us.”The planetary tryst will end almost as soon as it begins. Then, we’ll have to wait until the next great conjunction of this calibre, in 2080. So, go on and gape at the night sky like our ancestors did (albeit with a little more social distancing for safety).
