   Seen above are  Jupiter and  Saturn in the race for the  Great
   Conjunction of December 21, 2020. Though the  gas giant and
    ringed planet are in  conjunction approximately every 20 years,
   they’re rarely in such close proximity; the last time they were this
   close was nearly 400-years ago. Picture taken December 14, 2020.
