NASA Science Live: How to See Saturn and Jupiter’s Great Conjunction

Have you noticed two bright objects in the sky getting closer together with each passing night? It’s Jupiter and Saturn doing a planetary dance that will result in the Great Conjunction on Dec. 21. On that day, Jupiter and Saturn will be right next to each other in the sky -- the closest they have appeared in nearly 400 years! Want to learn when and where to look up? Join our expert astronomer Dr. Henry Throop on #NASAScience Live.

He is so excited and that just reflects how much he loves science. He even made the reporter look so happy which reflects the energy quadrant. Awesome

I’ve been watching the planets coming closer and closer since this summer. It’s pretty cool to be able to see these planets plus Mars and Venus in the sky at different times.
