The meeting between Jupiter and Saturn occurs regularly every 19.6 years and is part of the great carousel of planets in the Solar System around our star king.
However, what happened on Monday (21) was the closest meeting since 1623, and that year, it was not possible to see them very well from Earth, as they were too close to the Sun.

This time, whoever was in a clear spot, over most of the planet, managed to see a large bright spot on the horizon: with the naked eye, the two largest planets in our ensemble were indistinguishable.
It will be possible to observe Jupiter and Saturn together until December 29, but the climax happened tonight.
If you haven’t been able to verify, the next Conjunction (as this meeting is called) in which the celestial bodies will be so aligned will only be in 2080.
