Explanation:
DonБt miss the coming
great conjunction.
In just under two weeks, the two largest planets in
our Solar System
will angularly pass so close together in
Earth's
sky that the
Moon would easily
be able to cover them both simultaneously.
This
pending planetary passage -- on December 21 -- will be the closest since
1623.
Jupiter and
Saturn will remain
noticeably bright and can already be
seen together toward the southwest just after sunset.
Soon after dusk is the best time to see them --
because they set below the horizon soon after.
In mid-November, the Jovian giants were
imaged together here about three degrees apart -- and slowly closing.
The featured image, including a crescent moon, captured the dynamic duo
beyond the
Cape Murro di Porco Lighthouse in
Syracuse,
Sicily,
Italy.
