How fare ye? Hearty? Maister Trace here
with something that hasn t happened in the

 

sky since Shakespeare s plays were new hits:
a GREAT CONJUNCTION of Jupiter and Saturn!

 

In a conjunction objects appear close to
each other in the sky. Great Conjunctions

 

are pretty rare -- happening only every
20 years -- but this is even MORE special,

 

as Jupiter and Saturn haven t
come this close since 1623!

 

Hopefully you followed Jupiter and
Saturn s lead-up to this meetup,

 

but even if you missed the approach -- the
event is worth it! Hit up the nearest patch

 

of sky just after sunset, and look southwest
to see a super bright spot above the horizon.

 

That is TWO PLANETS, y all! WHAT! Jupiter
is fifteen times brighter than Saturn.

 

They ll be so close together it
will be hard to pick them apart!

 

And with binoculars (or a low-power telescope)
the view is even better. My review, five stars!

 

Keep lookin up!
