Our solar system’s largest planets – Jupiter and Saturn – will have their once-in-20-years great conjunction on December 21, 2020. At their closest, they’ll be only 0.1 degrees apart. That’s just 1/5 of a full moon diameter. Our friends around the world are beginning to capture the planets as they draw closer together in the sky. If you’d like to submit an image, you can do so here.
