The Christmas star will shine on the night of December 21, 2020 to December 22, 2020, when Saturn and Jupiter approach during a grand conjunction. Questions have already arisen in the international press: Will the Christmas Star be the same as the Star of Bethlehem of 7 BC, when Jupiter and Saturn are also believed to have approached?
The Grand Conjunction of the two largest planets in our system would give us a unique picture of life, on the night of December 21, 2020, when there will be an extremely short distance between Saturn and Jupiter. Some researchers say that the distance will be so small that the two planets would form a single light so bright that it makes us think of the Christmas Star of the Magi.
Although it is normally said that such a conjunction occurs once every 20 years, not all conjunctions are the same, and the one that follows December 21, 2020 will be the closest since 1623 and the closest and realize from 1226 to the present.
Astronomers say that on December 21, 2020, “Jupiter and Saturn will be only 0.1 degrees apart.”
