Before the 2020 end, we will witness the closest meeting of the two biggest planets in our solar system Jupiter and Saturn.
As history, the closest observable great conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn happened at medieval times at year 1226 and it happened last 1623 but the phenomenon impossible to see in earth due to sun glare.
The great conjunction will happen at exact date of winter solstice, December 21, 2020 coincidentally. It so close that it will appear in night sky of December 21, 2020 as double planet.
What would happen if these giants being close to each other? Nothing as they separated as far as 450 million miles in space.
This kind of astronomical event will happen again at 2080.
