Look up at the night sky on Dec. 21 and you may see something truly spectacular.
The planets of Jupiter and Saturn will appear (weather-permitting) on the winter solstice to be so close from Earth that they’ll look like one gigantic shining star, even though they’ll actually be 450 million miles apart.

The so-called “Great Conjunction” last happened in 1623 but could not be seen from Earth. Before that, the phenomenon previously occurred on March 4, 1226.
2020’s celestial event has been christened by some scientists as the “Christmas Star” or “Star of Bethlehem,” due to its proximity to Christmas Day.
“Alignments between these two planets are rather rare, occurring once every 20 years or so, but this conjunction is exceptionally rare because of how close the planets will appear to one another,” said Patrick Hartigan, a professor of physics and astronomy at Rice University.
“On the evening of closest approach on Dec 21 they will look like a double planet, separated by only 1/5th the diameter of the full moon,” Hartigan explained in a statement. “For most telescope viewers, each planet and several of their largest moons will be visible in the same field of view that evening.”
if claims of Aliens being held in Area 51 (or what it was called back then) are true, we cannot dismiss their arrival/appearance.
maybe Christ also appeared and is being held up in Area 51.
A good binoculars should do the job…you don’t want to use a telescope on that night for the first time…there are certain things you need to learn before getting to enjoy the use of one and I believe 7 days is a short time to gain that experience.
