Lake Metroparks issued the following announcement on Dec. 17.
Get ready for a once in a lifetime view of Saturn and Jupiter on December 21!
Not only is it the Winter Solstice (the shortest daylight of the year) but it's also the day of "The Great Conjunction."
In astronomy, a conjunction is when two celestial objects appear to be very close to each other. What makes this conjunction so special is that Jupiter and Saturn will appear as one planet with the naked eye, which has not happened since 1623.
Grab your binoculars or telescope and check out these two giant planets as they appear as one!
