mardi, 22 décembre 2020 à 11:00 - The Great Conjunction may be over, but Jupiter and Saturn aren't done showing off.
On December 21, we were witness to the greatest Great Conjunction seen in nearly 800 years. Keep your eyes on the southwest horizon just after sunset in the week to come, though, as Jupiter and Saturn continue to put on an amazing show.
The two most massive planets in our solar system have been a constant sight in our night skies so far in 2020. Throughout the year, the Jupiter and Saturn have appeared to be locked in a slow dance. Drawing closer and closer for the first half of the year, they then pulled apart again until Fall, and then they slowly approaching again, night by night, leading up to the Winter Solstice.
