Looking Up column: Jupiter, Saturn pair up
Peter Becker
Jupiter and Saturn will be remarkably close Monday night, Dec. 21, a sight to remember and one that is even being likened to the Christmas Star, a symbol of hope our world desperately needs.
The two biggest planets in the Solar System shine like bright stars; Jupiter, closer and largest, is the brighter. Look for the pair in the southwestern sky during evening twilight. A good time to look is about 45 minutes after sunset; the sky will be dark enough and yet the planets will still be about 20 degrees above the flat horizon. The width of your fist held at arm’s length is about 10 degrees.

What has become the most active, dependable meteor shower of the year is gracing the night sky over the next few nights. Unlike the more well-known Perseid meteor shower in August, December’s Geminid meteor shower comes right when nights are typically getting colder in the Northern Hemisphere.
The peak of the Geminids arrives early Monday evening, Dec. 14 in the Eastern Time Zone, but the shower is expected to be at near-peak strength the night before (Sunday night-Monday morning.
The American Meteor Society says that, under optimum conditions, one may see as many as 150 meteors an hour - averaging more than two a minute.
