Did anyone get to see the phenomenal Christmas star last night? I was able to get a glimpse of it but unfortunately we had light pollution in our area because we live in the city and was only able to see it very briefly. I was so disappointed because if I was at my parents house, we could see it clear as day but guess that’s what you get living in the city :( I tried to tell my boyfriend this is a rare event and it only happens every 19-20 years and we’re actually alive to see something spectacular happen. I took these yesterday. One with my camera on my phone and the other was with my Nikon.

I did get out out to see it. I have been waiting as were clouded over for the last couple of days. Had a decent pair of binoculars. Could resolve some of the moons of Jupiter but could barely make out the rings of Saturn. Was too lazy to get the telescope out. This is going to happen in another 60 or so years and then again in 400. Last time time this was visible, Galileo was looking at it.

Saw it was only visable for 2 hours after sunset.

A church member here in Ohio took this pic with his church in the foreground. Thought it was pretty cool.
