The two largest planets in our solar system are coming closer together than they have been since the Middle Ages

, and it's happening just in time for Christmas.

So, there are some things to look forward to in the final month of 2020. On the night of December 21, the winter solstice, Jupiter and Saturn will appear so closely aligned in our sky that they will look like a double planet. This close approach is called a conjunction.

Typical science reporting. They're actually going to be incredibly far apart, just like always.

If i could see them both shining closely to each other while i'm on a desert, i would pretend that i'm standing on Tatooine.

This makes me uneasy ... I mean it’s 2020 after all 🤭

ScottKeola They are not coming together, they are just becoming in the line of sight from the earth.. Sheesh... CNN!

I want Gravitons for Christmas!😳

See and me and my love are still far away

Not too many “science” people on here tonight holy shit 🤦‍♂️

Tell Saturn and Jupiter to wear a mask 😷, at least 6 million miles apart 😁👍🏻

Will this be visible in the southern hemisphere or just northern?

cool stuff

Oh sure, THEY can get together

Marry Chrismas!

FU 2020. The last thing we need is an intergalactic game of chicken between Jupiter and Saturn.

Its so beautiful, nature, the planets, humanity, then we come back to the reality of America. Disgraceful disgusting embarrassing failures. Greed racism and hatred, rules the culture of 40% of the population. They are immoral fake Americans that willfully killed our country.

Isn’t that amazing? We’re really lucky.

I can't wait to get my telescope out and have a look at these two. I saw them over summer when I first bought my 6 in Schmidt-Cassegrain. The clear winter air will no doubt make them look even better!

Haa.. no es asi el planeta.. lo conozco poco, pero nones asi.. tengo fotos desde su suelo y es algo muy lindo

AlanStern They will become one Jupiturn ...or Satupiter😆

Well,it's 2020

Everything is possible in 2020

Back for this plague

What will be the impacts for our planet?

There is the insane on the top of the media. CNN!

The magnificence of the universe. And, what dominates our attention here on Earth? One man.

😱

Does this concern me in anyway

They were just a little offset last night and bright enough to make a significant reflection on the water.

Important only if it could make a vast majority of people little bit more humane. The

Well, now. That's a perfect storm.

What a depressingly misleading headline. They are not getting closer to each other in any real sense. It's just that their orbits are aligning from our perspective. They are still about 400 million miles from one another. More than 4x the distance from the Earth to the Sun.

MAGA coming in, shouting 'fake news!' In 3, 2, 1...

FOR THE LAST TIME ARREST DONALD TRUMP!!!

Just as we approach the new dark ages..

Did space exploration prove the existence of God?

If someone could explain why Saturn's hexagon exists, and only on its North pole, I would consider trusting your Earth's climate models.

Tell Saturn and Jupiter to wear a mask 😷

Is there a link to the full interview?

Excited to have something in common with Jupiter and Saturn.

Praying for cloudless skies!!

This was the “star”that the maji’s saw that signaled the birth of Messiah

2020 going out with a blast. Next thing you know, Saturn's orbit accidentally tilts and they crash.

Good for them :)

They, too, wanna see how this season of “Humanity” ends.

Thanks for the info

What if ? You notice this. or. Tuck interest in..At that given moment...WOULDnt you feel so STUPID And Im sure your research... THREW out your life would become so much GREATER. Dont you find this funny ? Even a little ?

Two fat ladies

Cool!

How fitting — not since the Middle Ages has science been held to such disdain in society.

It's love.

Just saw “Omen III” and I look forward to the Second Coming, when Jesus defeats the Antichrist, Donald Trump, once and for all.

Trump's left and right butt cheeks?

netbacker It all makes sense now, a plague, a mad king, a feudal system where the lords have all the money and the serfs get, well usually sickness and early death. This is a reunion tour. I mean it could not be a signal of the start of the new dark ages. That is just crazy :)

Cool 😎

Excuse my immaturity, but how’s Uranus doing? Lol

Don't care.

Trump may go crazy during this time. Keep calm. Peace, no war.

Tell Saturn and Jupiter to wear a mask 😷

IT IS A BUNCH OF MEN AND TRANSVESTITES THAT WILL NOT LET WOMEN BE WITH ME.. I AM ALMOST DEAD FROM WHAT THEY ARE DOING TO ME..

THEY ARE DOING FILTHY THINGS TO MY HAIR WHEN I AM ASLEEP... I CAN NOT COMB IT WHEN THEY ARE DONE..

THEY ARE GOING IN MY HOME BEHIND MY BACK AND STEALING MY CLOTHING.. THEY ARE PUTTING OLD WORN OUT CLOTHING WHERE MINE WAS THINKING I DO NOT KNOW THE DIFFERANCE..

I want to live on Saturn. It's so cool.

They've been dancing around each other like this all year. Like, get a universe, you two.

I wonder what that means in regard to astrology.. hopefully it means my ex will stop being such a crazy 🤬.

I pray it will has no effect on us

Wtfc’s? It made no difference then and it won’t now

Significa che schiacceranno la terra ?

I see UrAnus

They’re gonna collide. It’s 2020

good

Help is on the way.

When will they squish us and end all the misery 2020's caused us?

It is the alignment not the closeness.

FOLLOWING EVERYONE WHO FOLLOWS ME

😮 so repeat of middle age history is it!

*

Trump won

Ok

It's not important that Jupiter will eclipse Saturn and pass by it. It's that a star that will be between the two that is most important.

as long as both planets stay at least 6 feet apart, we should be safe right?

Yuuuuupiiiiiiiii

The best in the world is galaxy..

What can we do about it... They have to so that have too... nothing doing...

Now kiss.

Awesomeness!

I predict: Fire and brimstone coming down from the skies. Rivers and seas boiling. Forty years of darkness. Earthquakes, volcanoes. The dead rising from the grave. Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together – mass hysteria. Yes, I stole that.

Who studied it in the Middle Ages ? Robin Hood ?

🙄🙄🙄

As long as the keep the 2 metres distance

Im gonna put my cock in their assholes

If Boris Johnson was in charge of this finely balanced alliance... . The two largest planets in our solar system are coming closer together than they have been since the Middle Ages

WATCH: Video footage from Georgia shows suitcases filled with ballots pulled from under a table AFTER supervisors told poll workers to leave room and 4 people stayed behind to keep counting votes

Would they crash at some point cuz that would be some movie shit ngl

What is the word vomit in this tweet... learn English 😂

Isn't that when the Black Plague hit europe

When the moon is in the seventh house and Jupiter aligns with Mars. Then peace will guide the planets and love will steer the stars. ... NOT!
