Unraveling the Mystery of the Star of Bethlehem

TL;DR Summary
This week, two "Stars of Bethlehem" will light up the night sky, which are actually Jupiter and Venus. Jupiter, the largest planet in our solar system, is currently at its brightest point and can be seen throughout the night. Venus, our closest neighbor, is known as the "Morning Star" and rises before sunrise. Additionally, the rare "Great Conjunction" of Saturn and Jupiter occurred on December 21, 2020, creating a spectacular view. The next occurrence of this event won't happen until 2080. The annual Ursid meteor shower will also peak on December 22, offering viewers the chance to see five to 10 shooting stars per hour.
