Jupiter, Saturn Will Soon Form First Visible ‘Double Planet’ In Nearly 800 Years

Jupiter and Saturn, the two largest planets in the solar system, will soon line up and look like a double planet, a sight not seen since the Middle Ages.
The rare celestial event will occur after sunset on Dec. 21, 2020, the start of the winter solstice.
At their closest, they’ll be only 0.1 degree apart, which is just 1/5 of a full moon diameter.

According to Amy Oliver of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, the maximum conjunction will occur at 1:20 p.m. ET. The last time Jupiter and Saturn came this close was 1623, but that conjunction was too near the sun to be seen by Earthlings. So 1226 is actually the most recent time such a close conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn was visible to humans. Worlds align this winter solstice: Look for Jupiter, Saturn in December skies
