Was sent these from a coworker.

Good catch. He/she must have caught it from a different angle than me. From my point of view Saturn was almost directly behind Jupiter.  It looked like one BIG "star". Thus why it was named the Star of Bethlehem.

It looks like it was taken through a telescope, which magnified the gap etween the two planets beyond what you can see with just your eyes or an unmagnified camera.

.

Could be. My coworker's husband is a photographer with the crime lab, so I am sure it is professional work. 

It surely is professional compared to anything I was able to capture.

For every one person that read this post. About 7.99 billion have not. 

Yet I still post.  tinyinlove
