Details:
On Dec. 21st, the Jupiter and Saturn will lie just 0.1 degrees(1/5 the diameter of the Moon) apart. 2020 Great Conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter is the closest these planets will appear in the sky since 1623. A much better close conjunction occurred nearly 800 years ago on 1226 with an astonishingly close separation of only 2 arc-minutes(1/15 the Moon’s diameter). After 2020, the next great conjunction will occur on 2080 (0.1 degrees, 1/5 the diameter of the Moon).
