The Great Conjunction 2020 In late December 2020, the two largest planets in our Solar System, Jupiterand Saturn, will be so close in the sky that you'll be able to see them both through the same telescope at the same time. Such close passes are known as Great Conjunctions.

21.12.2020 · The 2020 great conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn will be the closest since 1623 and the closest observable since 1226 ! 2020’s extra-close Jupiter-Saturn conjunction won’t be matched again until...

On December 21, Jupiter and Saturn will meet in a “great conjunction,” the closest they could be seen in the sky together for nearly 800 years.

The Great Conjunction of 2020 will be the closest in almost 400 years, and it may well be the closest pass that has ever been viewed through a telescope. The Astrophysics Group at the University of Exeter and Exeter Science Centre invite you to join them in observing this once in a lifetime event.

These planets have not been this close and visible in the night sky away from the glare of the Sun since the year 1226, and this won't happen ...

Closest Great Conjunction since 1623. The December 21, 2020 conjunction was the closest great conjunction since July 16, 1623. At the great conjunction of 1623, Jupiter and Saturn were slightly less than 0.1 degrees apart. However, this event would have been difficult—although not impossible—to observe since the two planets were near the Sun.

After 2020, the next great conjunctions will occur on November 2, 2040 and April 7, 2060. On both these occasions, the minimum separation of Jupiter and Saturn will be 1.1 degrees—which means they will be eleven times farther apart than on December 21, 2020. In fact, the 2020 great conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn was exceptionally close.

But these conjunctions aren't all created equal. The 2020 great conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn will be the closest since 1623 and the ...
