Juarez City Border residents tonight will have the unique opportunity to witness the conjunction of the planets Jupiter and Saturn.
The night sky will show the closest approximation of the two planets since the time of Galileo Galilei in the 17th century.
The celestial spectacle will be visible all over the world after sunset, weather permitting, experts say.
They state that it will be the closest apparent approach between Jupiter and Saturn since July 1623, but this conjunction was nearly impossible to see due to the proximity of the sun.
They point out that if added the Northern Hemisphere winter solstice and Southern Hemisphere summer solstice, this Christmas show promises to be one of the greatest of the great conjunctions.
