"Right now is a great time to go outside and look up at the night sky," Henry Throop, a planetary scientist at NASA, stated. The visibility of celestial events provides a unique opportunity to reconnect with the universe.
"When Jupiter is in opposition, it basically means it's close to the sun and Earth... And so it appears the brightest in the sky, and it appears largest," Throop explained, emphasizing the significance of this astronomical alignment.
"Today, Venus is referred to as the 'Christmas Star' because it will be the brightest object in the sky, besides the moon and sun," highlighting Venus's prominence during the stargazing events.
"One of the great things about looking at the sky, you don't need anything fancy to see these people have been looking at the sky for thousands of years," Throop pointed out, emphasizing the accessibility of astronomy.
