(CBS 58) – The ‘Christmas Star’ or Great Conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn culminates Monday, December 21.
According to NASA, this happens when the two planets travel together across the sky.
#Wisconsin Sky #Forecast calls for increasingly clear skies tonight. But will they arrive fast enough to witness the closest conjunction on #Jupiter & #Saturn in 800 years?
