Christmas Star 2020... There was a lot of chatter about the solstice and near alignment/overlap of Jupiter and Saturn in the night time sky tonight, December 21. 63F degrees and not a cloud in the sky and the only thing that resembled what the astronomy news was reporting was a disappointment to me. My best view was standing in the open section of a golf course, where it was visible in the southwest less than 20 degrees above the horizon. She said "Enough, let's go home!" . |

A few news stories called it the Christmas Star and compared it to the biblical Three Wise Men guided by a star. Let's talk facts: It's 2 planets (not a star) and lasts less than an hour. Those guys had traveled a while.
