This month, look to the skies for an extraordinary sight - one that hasnât been seen for nearly 800 years.
Jupiter and Saturn will appear extraordinary close to one another on December 21 - just 0.06 degrees apart, in fact, which is less than a tenth the size of the full moon in the sky.

Some people believe such a âGreat Conjunctionâ was responsible for the star of Bethlehem followed by the Three Wise Men in the Bible story, hence its nickname, the Christmas Star.
