The Great Conjunction - Jupiter and Saturn - By Steve Rifkin 12-21-20

The Great Conjunction... Well, all I got was clouds except for a short window where the planets were visible. I jumped in as fast as I could, and this is the best I could get before the clouds rolled in again. Like my pic from last Friday evening, I had to overexpose Jupiter to get some Saturn (which is dimmer.) But, you get the bonus of some Jupiter moons! If you notice, though, Saturn and Jupiter are not on top of each other. There are still separated (although they were closer earlier in the day.) But, when viewed with the naked eye, it looks like one big star!
Saturn, Jupiter (and its moons), The Great Conjunction!
