(Woodcut by Julius Schnorr von Carolsfeld)
Normally we think of Christmas stars as celebrities like Bing Crosby or Mariah Carey.
This year, however, the luminosity will be even greater. Two of the largest planets in our solar system will be coming together for a Christmas special. Jupiter and Saturn will align closely enough to resemble the traditional Star of Bethlehem.
This type of conjunction hasn’t occurred since 1226 CE, and won’t occur again until 2080. So keep your eyes to the skies, and hitch your wagons to these Christmas Stars.
