Jupiter and Saturn are getting closer, as they near their once-in-20-years conjunction on December 21, 2020. At their closest, they'll be only 0.1 degrees apart. That's just 1/5 of a full moon diameter.Nov 20, 2020
They will be in the West in the early evening before and after that date -- it should be good viewing around 6 PM at my latitude (38 deg. N). I am hoping to have Saturn and its rings with Jupiter and its moons in the field of my scope at the same time.
