Watch out today for this once in a life event : Jupiter and Saturn coming this close after 400 years making a Double Planet that too on a Winter Solstice.
One of the theories claim that in the 7 B.C , there were series of such conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn which they call as a Christmas Star or Star of Bethlehem which lead the three wise men to the baby Jesus.
P.S : Calculations are done based on assumptions and approximations ( almost circular orbit )
Watch it after sunset in the south western sky !
