A Christmas Star Occurring Once-In-800-Years To Light-Up Night Sky Starting December 21, 2020
CHRISTMAS STAR OCCURRING ONCE-IN-800-YEARS – Surely, 2020 was not the year we were all expecting.
Throughout the year, the world faced several calamities and a new pandemic, COVID-19. However, as the year draws to a close, a bright light signaling a beacon of hope would shine brightly in the night sky.
A bright “Christmas Star” that occurs when the giant planets Jupiter and Saturn align will light up the night sky starting December 21. According to a report from GMA’s resident meteorologist, this phenomenon only happens once every 800 years.
As the planets align, it would look like one large celestial body from earth. Moreover, the combined brightness of both these planets presents a celestial spectacle for those in Earth.
The alignment of these two planets and its bright shine is akin to the story of how the Three Wise Men followed a dazzling star to Bethlehem. Afterward, they had the honor of meeting the newborn Jesus Christ.
