      Rare-ish astronomical event called a conjunction. Saturn and Jupiter appeared very close to each other in the night sky on Dec 21.

      It's neat if you like star gazing and very significant if you like astrology or right-wing psycho occultism.

      Same as what everyone else has already said, with the added detail that some people are saying that this event is the same "Christmas star" that appeared at Jesus' birth. Still not sure why it's in the cartoon. I guess because the tree of liberty says it's not a Christmas tree? And Trump is supposed to be the savior? But he's bringing presents like the wise men? IDK, Garrison's brain is a very strange place.
