New Delhi. Tomorrow i.e. on Monday, December 21, a wonderful view will be seen in the sky when two big planets are very close to each other. During this time, both these planets will look similar when viewed from Earth. Both these planets are Jupiter and Saturn. This year, this astronomical event will be seen after several hundred years. Earlier this amazing sight was seen in the life of Galileo in the 17th century. When these two planets came very close to each other.
In this regard, space scientists say that it is not very rare to come close to two big planets in our solar system, but it is rare to come so close as they will come tomorrow. Well, every 20 years, Jupiter planet passes close to its neighboring planet Saturn, but never comes so close. Scientists say that when these two planets come closer tomorrow, then there will be a distance of only 0.1 degree between them. This amazing view can be seen all over the world at sunset. If the weather remains favorable, this event is going to happen on 21 December 2020.
Such a moment comes once in a person's lifetime
It is said to be the shortest day of the year. Space scientists say that before this, in July of 1623, both planets came close, but then they could not be seen due to their proximity to the Sun. Before that, in March 1226, when the two planets came close, this phenomenon could be seen from the earth. Concerning this amazing astronomical event, David Weintraub, professor of astronomy at Vanderbilt University, said, "I believe it would be fair to say that this phenomenon usually occurs only once in a person's life."
