SUMMARY:Virtual Jupiter/Saturn Conjunction Stream
DESCRIPTION:Join the Tucson Amateur Astronomy Association for a live telescope stream of the Jupiter/Saturn Conjunction. This is a once (or twice if you are young) in a lifetime event. The planets will get to within .1 degree on December 21st. They are actually separated by distance as Jupiter is 551 million miles from Earth and Saturn is about twice as far at just over 1 billion miles from Earth. They will be close enough to be a challenge to separate with just your eyes. Observing with a pair of binoculars or a telescope is ideal. The last time they were this close together and were observable was in 1226 (794 years ago). The next conjunction that will be this close will be in 2080. The pair starts December about 2 degrees apart. The distance decreases by about .1 degree every day\, so observe them every evening and watch them get closer to each other. On the 21st\, join us to view them through a refractor telescope. \nThe Conjunction will be streamed live to our Facebook Page:  https://www.facebook.com/TucsonAstronomy
