A Rare Celestial Occurrence Took Place This Week And Saudis Had Their Telescopes Ready

Avatar

A once-in-a-lifetime-night-sky occurrence is taking place this week and people all over the world are hoping to get a glimpse.

Jupiter and Saturn are coming extremely close to each other in what is called “the great conjunction”

Although the orbital paths of the two huge planets ensure great conjunctions every 20 years, most are impossible to see with the naked eye because they happen during the daytime.

It will be 2080 before the planets align so closely again and be visible to humans.
