JUPITER AND SATURN SO CLOSE THEY APPEAR AS ONE PLANET!
“This evening, on the first day of astronomical winter, you may be able to see a rare phenomenon witnessed when the famous astronomer Galileo Galilei was alive:
Jupiter and Saturn will appear so close to one another in the night sky, the gassy behemoths will look like one star: the Christmas star.
The last time the planets were this close to each other at night, when the sun’s glare didn’t make it impossible to see, was in 1223 — nearly 800 years ago!”

My friend Padmini and her husband Naresh shared this photo which they took on their small telescope. You can see Saturn’s rings!

Sadly, all of Vermont was covered in clouds! Glad you had such a lovely view!
