It will be visible to the naked (Non Cataract) eye, although a pair of binoculars or a telescope will certainly help.

Planetary conjunction.
If you are in the UK with access to a South Westerly CLEAR Sky then between 1630 and 1830 the sight that the three wise men are supposed to have seen 2.000 years ago will be available to you tonight although the 21st (Monday) will be the best nights view,

Re: Planetary conjunction.
That would be an amazing sight and thank you for the heads up. I might just knock back a few and sing Silent Night out in my front yard. But probably not.

Re: Planetary conjunction.
I'll be out there to take a peek at it. Of course I'll have to let the cigar smoke clear first though!

Re: Planetary conjunction.
Hope it will be clear on Monday then, Shaun, as all I can see when I pop my head out of the front door is an overcast sky delivering very large rain drops 
Thanks for the tip, though
I have, of course, seen the Northern Lights up here several times. Not even Pink Floyd could produce a lightshow to match it.
