During the rare event, Jupiter and Saturn appeared in the sky as the closest they have been in 400 years
The “Great Conjunction” of Jupiter and Saturn occurred on Dec. 21, 2020 when viewers in California and across the globe eagerly watched for the appearance of the two planets. Approximately once every 20 years the positions of Jupiter and Saturn are aligned closely in the sky, but it has been about 400 years since the planets were this close to each other and about 800 years since this alignment happened at night, according to an article by National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).
Pratik Gandhi and Patty Bolan, PhD students in astrophysics at UC Davis, missed the event due to foggy weather in the San Francisco Bay Area but were able to witness it through the many pictures taken by astronomical websites. Gandhi was intrigued by the images captured by radio telescopes since images of the solar system tend to use optical imaging.
