🌃 This is it! The evening of the Great Conjunction 2020! The solar system's largest planets, Jupiter and Saturn, will appear at their closet in about 400 years. Look toward the southwestern horizon just after sunset to easily find the two bright planets separated by only 1/5th the diameter of the moon. This is even better viewed with binoculars or a small telescope, which will allow you to see Saturn's rings and Jupiter's four large moons. KMBC 9 | Nick Bender KMBC
