Dit fenomeen dat ze vanuit ons perspectief zo dicht bij elkaar staan is vrij uniek, het was al geleden van het jaar 1226! Voor de volgende afspraak is het minder lang wachten, namelijk tot 2080.
Hieronder enkele prachtige beelden van dit unieke fenomeen!
The #GreatConjunction of #Jupiter and #Saturn thru my telescope just after 6pm. 4 of Jupiter's moons; Europa, Ganymede, Io & Callisto, and Saturn's Titan moon visible. Stacked many images for more clarity and color. Nexstar Celestron 6SE with Nikon D750 attached. #scwx #ncwx pic.twitter.com/vzP2IAuFnS

Wow! #GreatConjunction from Tampa. Jupiter moons from top to bottom. Callisto, Io, Ganymede (almost touching Jupiter) and Europa below it. Check out Rhea and Titan, the two moons of Saturn. Equipment: Sony a7r4 with 10-400 GM lens with 2X teleconverter. 📷 Frank Delargy pic.twitter.com/B6PY9UVqnq
