That’s an amazing pairing. Too bad it’s so close to the horizon.

By Dec 21 they'll be at their closest, supposedly within an area of sky about the size of a toothpick held out at arm's length.

On December 21, [2020] Jupiter and Saturn will get so close in the sky that they will almost appear to merge with one another. Such a conjunction has not occurred in December for some 800 years.
