Jupiter and Saturn owned the winter solstice sky tonight over Phoenix. About 6:30 p.m., Tom and I were fortunate to capture the duo shining side-by-side, forming the Christmas Star between two saguaros in Papago Park.
As we prepare to say goodbye to the pain and heartache of 2020, there is no better way for me to wish you and your family a healthy and happy Christmas and a new year of hope, peace and bright possibilities.

After heading outside just before dinner to view the planets, I returned singing “There’s a cloud in the west on solstice night. Rise up, shepherd, and follow.” Bummer. Also, I learned that no one in my family knows that song.
