TOMORROW Jupiter and Saturn will be at their closest separation in the sky since 1623 at 0.1° apart. This animation shows how close they are in the sky. Because 0.1° is hard to picture, I've added the Moon to give us a sense of scale (Moon is ~0.5° diameter) #GreatConjunction2020 pic.twitter.com/QiI2W44D09

The #GreatConjunction of #Jupiter and #Saturn thru my telescope just after 6pm. 4 of Jupiter's moons; Europa, Ganymede, Io & Callisto, and Saturn's Titan moon visible. Stacked many images for more clarity and color. Nexstar Celestron 6SE with Nikon D750 attached. #scwx #ncwx pic.twitter.com/vzP2IAuFnS
