It’s being called the “Christmas Star” and it’s lovely to see Jupiter and Saturn in the same field of view if you have a telescope or even just binoculars.
It’s very low on the horizon, right at twilight, in the western sky.
Of course, we in Montreal will miss the best bit, we are clouded over, but you can watch it on the Internet. The planets will start moving away from each other now, but slowly, so do look to the west when the sky clears. With luck you will see the conjunction before the planets sink below the horizon in a few more days.
The Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff, Arizona, will host a program beginning at 7 p.m. ET, showcasing live views through its telescopes. The stream will be on the observatory’s YouTube page.
The Virtual Telescope Project in Rome will also share live views on its website.
I ran a search on Youtube and found a lot of video from around the world.
