While Chicago is already twinkling with seasonal displays, the area will be hit with different sorts of celestial glows throughout December.
In what Adler Planetarium dubs a"rare astronomical event," a “lunar occultation” will take place early in the evening on Wednesday. Then near Dec. 25, a total of five planets could be visible to the naked eye.
The first sky-bound sight visible will be Mars. In fact, the planet has been at its peak brightness throughout the first week of December. But on the night of the full moon, which will fall Wednesday, Mars will be at its highest point in the sky in the last 15 months, according to astronomers. As the full moon rises, Mars will actually disappear from view, hiding behind the moon, just after 9 p.m., officials say. Roughly an hour later, it will reappear on the other side of the moon as it continues its journey across the night sky.
