I hope to observe the great conjunction this month, they are hoping it will form a Christmas star!  And you know what?

Cool! 

Here's some better viewing instructions :

Nasa said people should look for them low in the south-west in the hour after sunset when “the two giant planets will appear just a tenth of a degree apart – that’s about the thickness of a dime held at arm’s length.”

Tucker explained what to look for as “a thin crescent moon and two bright objects right next to it”.

Fans can start practising now, because the planets are already edging closer together. All that is required are a night with clear skies and a vantage point with a clear horizon – no buildings or trees in the way, according to the Cambridge Independent.
