R. Ashok A large number of people gathered at Thirumalairayar Padithurai off the Vaigai here on Monday evening to witness the Great Conjunction, a rare celestial event where Jupiter and Saturn appear to merge.
The Madurai branch of Tamil Nadu Science Forum had made arrangements for the public to witness the rare celestial event through three telescopes. TNSF district president M. Rajesh said this would be the closest for the two planets after it happened in 1623. Although the planets would appear close together, they would be about 600 million kilometres apart. The next time the two planets would appear this close in the sky will be in 2080, he added.
Madurai: The Tamil Nadu Science Forum, is organising a planet gazing event on Sunday, to help people witness a rare celestial event - the conjunction of the Jupiter and Saturn, the biggest stars in the milky way galaxy.
President Tamil Nadu Science Forum, Madurai M Rajesh, said that it was a once in a lifetime opportunity to see such rare event as it would next appear in the skies only in 2080.
The TNSF is organising the event near the Annamalai theater in Simmakkal on December 21 between 6pm and 8pm.
People can be relieved to watch the sky to see the conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn. It became known as the ‘Christmas Star’ in the conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn.
