Jupiter and Saturn were closer in the night sky than they have been for centuries in a spectacle some astronomers believe could have been thought of as the star of Bethlehem followed by the three wise men.
The planets were in alignment on Monday night and will remain so for the rest of this week as the solar system s two biggest planets appeared to meet in a celestial event that astronomers call the Great Conjunction.

The two planets are drawing closer to each other in the sky as they head towards a great conjunction on Monday, Dec. 21, where the two giant planets will appear a tenth of a degree apart.
