The great conjunction Dec. 21, 2020 By Karly Tinsley | December 21, 2020 at 10:19 PM MST - Updated December 22 at 12:42 PM
TUCSON, Ariz. (KOLD News 13) - Jim Knoll and Bernie Stinger spent most of their Monday setting up their telescopes.
The two members of the Tucson Amateur Astronomy Association have been looking forward to Dec. 21, 2020, to observe the Great Conjunction.
Itâs the name for when Saturn and Jupiter will only appear to be one-fifth the diameter of a full moon apart from each other.
Astronomers call it a great conjunction, but itâs also been dubbed the âChristmas Starâ or âStar of Bethlehemâ because of its brightness and proximity to Dec. 25.
