First at Four: Planetarium on Saturn & Jupiter Event By Ashlea Kosikowski | December 14, 2020 at 5:38 PM EST - Updated December 15 at 10:14 PM
WILMINGTON, N.C. (WECT) - An out-of-this-world event will have many looking up to the sky later next week.
Jupiter and Saturn are nearing for what is called a “great conjunction.”
The two will appear to overlap in the night sky on Mon., Dec. 21. In reality, they will still be hundreds of millions of miles apart.
Planetarium Manager Katherine Hunt, from Ingram Planetarium in Sunset Beach, explained this happens about every 20 years but this one will be special.
