A Christmas Star Will Light Up The Oregon Sky For The First Time In Centuries
2020 has certainly been a rough year, but there’s a glimmer of hope slated to appear in the skies above Oregon soon. The Christmas Star hasn’t been witnessed by humans since the year 1226 A.D., but it’s going to make an appearance on December 21st, and you won’t want to miss it!
We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life. While we continue to feature destinations that make our state wonderful, please take proper precautions or add them to your bucket list to see at a later date. If you know of a local business that could use some extra support during these times, please nominate them here: onlyinyourstate.com/nominate

You'll be able to see the two planets starting on December 15th; they'll appear to get closer and closer to each other over the next several days. In reality, the two planets of millions of miles apart - they just appear to merge due to their alignment.


The next time this occurs will be in 2080, so many of us will be able to witness the Christmas Star twice during our lifetimes!
