How to see the "Christmas Star"

 Well, more accurately it's the Solstice Star as the conjunction occurs on December 21.

Jupiter and Saturn are going to appear to merge, which happens every few hundred years.

Look to the southwest just after sunset to see this particular dance.

The last time this happened was 400 years ago, but that was during the day, so it wasn't visible. The most recent opportunity to see this was 800 years ago.

It's probably some kind of omen. Let's hope it's a good one.
