The whole world will witness a rare story. When Galileo lived in the 17th century, Jupiter and Saturn got very close. After nearly 400 years, a rare event will occur in the solar system on Monday, December 21, the shortest day of the year. On this day the two planets of the solar system, Jupiter and Saturn, will get very close to each other. Ordinary people can see this scene with the naked eye without any footage just after sunset.
Astronomers say the distance between Jupiter and Saturn on Monday will be just 0.1 degrees. If the weather is favorable, the people of the world will be able to witness such a rare sight after sunset. This information has been reported in a report by the Indian media Gennews.
According to the US space agency NASA, it is not uncommon for two planets in the solar system to come very close to each other. Jupiter passes its neighboring planet Saturn every 20 years. But not so close.
Professor David Bentrao, a space researcher at Wonder Bilt University, said that a person can see such events only once in his life. The last time Saturn and Jupiter were so close was in July 1823. But the two service planets were so close to the sun that they couldn’t be seen with the naked eye.
Before that, in March 1228, Jupiter and Saturn were very close to each other. That event was possible to see from the ground. Then, for the first time, such a rare sight will be possible to see with the naked eye from the ground.
