Watch: Planets Jupiter and Saturn in rare ‘Great Conjunction’ that won’t take place again until 2080
The unusual planetary intimacy, aka the Christmas kiss, was owing to a near convergence of the orbits of Jupiter and Saturn.

TOMORROW Jupiter and Saturn will be at their closest separation in the sky since 1623 at 0.1° apart. Here's an animation showing exactly how close that is relative to a familiar object, the Moon! (Moon ONLY added to illustrate the scale) #GreatConjunction2020 pic.twitter.com/2mvdl6KjmI
