Cloud cover may have blocked your view of the “Christmas Star” last night, when Saturn and Jupiter appeared at their closest, but there’s still a chance to witness nearly the same sight every evening this week.
The 2 planets – 2 of the brightest objects in the night sky – will be moving apart gradually, but for a few nights they won’t appear much farther apart than the less than 1 degree of separation they enjoyed last night.
