2020 has seen eclipses and meteor showers, and now, there\u2019s a \u201cdouble planet\u201d coming in December. But what is that and how and when do you even see it?<\/p>\n

A \u201cdouble planet\u201d is occurring because two planets are well, doubling up. This month Jupiter and Saturn will stack on top of one another in the night sky, creating the phenomenon that\u2019s formally called a conjunction. This is the first time the two planets have come this close since the middle ages, and in a fun twist, it\u2019s falling on the Winter Solstice, Dec. 21.<\/p>\n

To get the best view of the event, you\u2019ll need a telescope or a pair of binoculars. Even though the United States won\u2019t have the most prime view (that\u2019s down near the Equator), but the majority of the country will be able to see the event. To catch it, head out around Twilight and look to the southwest for your best chance.<\/p>\n

So mark your calendar now because another conjunction won\u2019t come around until 2080!<\/p>\n
