This is truly a once in a lifetime event – or more accurately a once in many lifetime events.
Jupiter and Saturn will be extremely close as in – view them both in the eyepiece. Without visual aid they will almost look like a single very bright star – some are calling this the Christmas star.
Enjoy this rare event and start watching them become kissing cousins now. Enjoy from your gardens or high point. Remember to stay safe and keep to established paths and tracks
