mystarypi-astronomy: Here is more close-up photo of the Jupiter-Saturn Conjunction! I was able to take a picture when the 2 planets were at their closest! The small dots around the 2 planets are actually moons of the planets - I can’t believe I was able to photograph them! The last viewable conjunction where the planets were this close was in the year 1226! It’s amazing we were able to see this within our lifetime!
