A new comet has appeared in the Earth's atmosphere, and viewers have only one more chance to see it this month before it is gone forever.

A rare "ring of fire" solar eclipse will grace the sky just a couple of weeks after a Super Blood Moon lunar eclipse occurred. The solar eclipse will take place on June 10.

End Times preachers have long pointed to what they believe are prophetic implications behind blood moons. At the same time, other Christians have been critical of End Times preachers, pointing out that Jesus told his followers that no one can know when the End Times will come.

Two-thousand and twenty-one will bring a myriad of astronomical phenomenon. Here is a list of some of the most stunning astronomical events to watch the skies for in 2021:

Tonight, Jupiter and Saturn will cross paths in the sky and will appear to us as one body. They will seem closer than they have since the 12000s and will shine brighter. While this is not the same star that led the magi to Christ, the timing of tonight’s celestial event points to that birth in a way that is especially significant. My wife and I were discussing this fact yesterday and she noted: “How wonderful that God would give us such a sign of his presence in this year of all years.” 

Saturn and Jupiter will align on December 21, creating what some are calling the "Christmas Star." This will be the first time the two planets align in this way since the Middle Ages.
