Jupiter is preparing to pass Saturn, an event known as a great conjunction. On Dec. 21, the two planets will come closer to each other than they’ve been in nearly 400 years — and it will be visible to the naked eye.

The moon will align with Mars, Saturn and Jupiter in the pre-dawn hours this week.
