1 00:00:02,235 --> 00:00:06,139 How fare ye? Hearty? Maister Trace here with something that hasn t happened in the 2 00:00:06,239 --> 00:00:11,411 sky since Shakespeare s plays were new hits: a GREAT CONJUNCTION of Jupiter and Saturn! 3 00:00:11,511 --> 00:00:15,582 In a conjunction objects appear close to each other in the sky. Great Conjunctions 4 00:00:15,682 --> 00:00:19,419 are pretty rare -- happening only every 20 years -- but this is even MORE special, 5 00:00:19,519 --> 00:00:24,457 as Jupiter and Saturn haven t come this close since 1623! 6 00:00:24,557 --> 00:00:27,160 Hopefully you followed Jupiter and Saturn s lead-up to this meetup, 7 00:00:27,260 --> 00:00:31,097 but even if you missed the approach -- the event is worth it! Hit up the nearest patch 8 00:00:31,197 --> 00:00:36,069 of sky just after sunset, and look southwest to see a super bright spot above the horizon. 9 00:00:36,169 --> 00:00:40,607 That is TWO PLANETS, y all! WHAT! Jupiter is fifteen times brighter than Saturn. 10 00:00:40,707 --> 00:00:43,643 They ll be so close together it will be hard to pick them apart! 11 00:00:43,743 --> 00:00:49,749 And with binoculars (or a low-power telescope) the view is even better. My review, five stars! 12 00:00:49,849 --> 00:00:53,849 Keep lookin up!
