On December 21st 2020 Jupiter and Saturn aligned to show a once in a lifetime experience. This hasn’t happened for over 800 years and won’t again for another 400.
I managed to take a shot last night, but I think to experience this properly a telescope would have been needed!
As noted by Johannes Kepler in the 17th century, a similar conjunction occurred in 7 BCE and could be the astronomical origin of the Star of Bethlehem that guided the wise men. Source: The Conversation
Did anyone else get to see this wonderful phenomenon?
Travels with Ali 
My family was texting the whole group last night about seeing this star. A few saw it and took photos but I live in downtown, trees, buildings and constant light hampered my view.

You wouldn’t have seen it in my part of the world, S.E. England, UK, as rain blotted out the sky.

I was up on the roof looking, but as you say, something stronger than my eyes was needed 🙂 🙂
