Jupiter and Saturns Conjunction on December 20, 2020

According to The Planetary Society, they have not been this close in 400 years — though close is not really close. They will be 733 million kilometers (457 million miles) apart, but from Earth they will “almost appear to touch, separated by less than one-fourth the width of the Moon.”

This occurred on December 20, 2020. The Gaseous Stars ( planets ) can be seen an hour after sunset in the southwest sky throughout the month of December, but will be at their closest on December 21.
