image from Mark Hostetler
Jupiter and Saturn have been getting closer and closer these past few nights. On December 21, they will appear so close in our sky that they will look like a double planet. They have not been this close and visible in the night sky since March 4, 1226.Look for this amazing view, called by many the Christmas Star, for the next few nights an hour after sunset in the western sky.

"Painting is self-discovery. Every good artist paints what he is."
