This Christmas season humanity can enjoy an astronomical event that has not happened for 800 years.
UNITED STATES (Rice University) – According to Christian tradition, the Star of Bethlehem, was followed by the 3 Magi —Bithisarea, Melichior, and Gathaspa— to reach the birthplace of Jesus Christ.
During this Christmas season, humanity will be able to enjoy an astronomical event that has not happened in 800 years: the alignment of the planets Jupiter and Saturn, better known as the Star of Bethlehem, which according to Christian tradition was followed to reach the birthplace of Jesus Christ.
This is a rare phenomenon, with a special meaning in this Christmas season, and that according to astronomical studies has not occurred since March 4, 1226, that is, since the Middle Ages.
This natural phenomenon occurs when the planets Jupiter and Saturn come together, so at first glance it will appear as if it were a double planet, according to Rice University (Texas) astronomer Patrick Hartigan.
When and where will the Star of Bethlehem be seen?
The symbolic Christmas Star will be visible from December 16 to 21, and can be observed anywhere in the world, although in better conditions in areas near the equator. The phenomenon can be seen one hour after sunset.
The astronomer Patrick Hartigan says that the event will be repeated until March 15, 2080 and then it will not happen again until after 2,400, so it would be worth taking advantage of the opportunity and not letting it go.

Kind of confused, says that it can be seen from Dec. 16 – 21, then says the event will be repeated until March 15, 2080?
yes i does says dec. 16-21 “2020” then might happen again in march 28, 2080, then it will not happen again until after 2,400.
See the bigger picture.
Every 20th year.
But every 800 year tip of the tongue-close.
Just view it, enjoy. Stop analyzing guys.
THAT IS SO TRUE …. JUST ENJOY THE VIEWING ….
Many Blessings to U!!! ?????? TY

Yeah. Never question anything you see online. That’s what smart people do.
It doesn’t make any sense for it to be the”Christmas Star” ….the last time it appeared was March 14th 1226 and the next time it’ll be visible is in March of 2080 how does that align with Christmas?
Kinda confused… So first i thought it mey every year dec round that time until 2080…. Then that march date fucked that thought up… Am wondering does it mean December 16 to 21, then jan,feb,& march round the same time of the month(16to21) every year until march 2080 then stops again until 2040? Or if anybody knows the right dates or what its supposed to say please if it aint to much to ask…. Help me out here with a comment of the truth or if i said it right (doubt it) or whatever they ficked up… And un fuck it up lol… I cany be the only one wondering and itll bug me from time to time until this is right… So anyone?

Merry CHRISTMAS, analyze all you want. I suggest you search yourself and find the Love of Jesus and why he died, not why or where he was born
