Get your telescopes ready! Jupiter and Saturn will be only 0.1 degrees apart on the day of the solstice.

Jupiter and Saturn will be in conjunction on 21 December. It's the closest the two planets have been in 800 years and it falls on the day of the solstice, the longest night of the year.

Yes!!! I bought binoculars but my telescope won't arrive in time.. wahh
