Saturn and Jupiter are gradually approaching since the beginning of summer and are expected to appear almost as a double planet on December 21st. This phenomenon, known as unity, can be seen anywhere in the globe, but in Britain it is thought to be slightly clearer.
German astronomer Joahnes Capler wrote in 1614 that most likely, Bethlehem <x0 December” in the birth confession of Jesus Christ is an exact union of Jupiter and Saturn.
Others have suggested over time that the “three kings or Eastern Erudite”, during their journey in search of Jesus, have been following the movements of Jupiter, Saturn and Venus. This will be the first time since March 4, 1226, that the two biggest planets in our solar system will be so close to each other.
Both Jupiter and Saturn have clearly appeared in the sky for most of the year, and we expect their approach after mid-December”, said NASA. “Make sure you see it because it's really rare!”
