JDMvW Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 Astronomy Picture of the Day this juxtaposition is not just any Great Conjunction -- it will be the closest since 1623 because the two planetary giants will pass only 1/10th of a degree from each other -- well less than the apparent diameter of a full moon. In the next few days a crescent moon will also pass a few degrees away from the converging planets and give a preliminary opportunity for iconic photos Of course, only if your sky isn't clouded over 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
