Great Conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn, 21 December 2020

On 21 December 2020 the closest giant planetary 'kiss' since 1623 will see gas giant planets Jupiter and Saturn just 0.1º apart. Here's how to see it.

Coincidently, the last peacetime famine in the UK was in 1623 - welcome Brexit.

I'm always at awe with the the immensity of our universe. So big, so complex, so mysterious, so fascinating.

He already has me for free so no need to buy him a heavenly body when he enjoy a luminous point here on earth

"Have you ever seen 40,000 shooting stars blaze across the sky at the same time? If you'd like to, the European Space Agency (ESA) is offering you two options: Either stare at the night sky for about half a million years as our solar system drifts steadily through the Milky Way (some patience required) — or, watch a new 60-second time-lapse simulation of the same thing, courtesy of the ESA's Gaia space observatory."

Epic time-lapse shows what the Milky Way will look like 400,000 years from now

The night sky will appear completely different half a million years from now. Researchers figured out what it'll look like.
