Saturn and Jupiter, are gradually approaching since the beginning of summer and are expected to appear on December 21, almost as a dual planet. This phenomenon, known as union, can be seen in every country of the globe, but in Britain it is thought to be a little clearer.
The German astronomer Joahnnes Kepler wrote in 1614 that most likely, the "Star of Bethlehem" in the story of the birth of Jesus Christ is precisely a union of Jupiter with Saturn.
Others have suggested over time that the "three kings or the Wise Men of the East", during their journey in search of Jesus, have been following the movements of Jupiter, Saturn and Aphrodite. This will be the first time since March 4, 1226, that the two largest planets in our solar system will be so close to each other.
"Both Jupiter and Saturn have been clearly visible in the sky for most of the year, and we expect their super approach after mid-December, " NASA said. " Make sure you see it, because it is something really rare! "
