Saturn Solstice

As Jupiter and Saturn will come closest to each other in nearly 400 years tonight, appearing together as one bright star, Indian diplomat-poet Abhay K has created a special video of cosmic anthems to mark the occasion of this 'Great Conjunction' and December Solstice.

The solar system's two biggest planets, Jupiter and Saturn, have come within planetary kissing range tonight, an intimacy that will not occur again until 2080. This "great conjunction", as it is known to astronomers, occurs fortuitously on the winter solstice for those in the Northern Hemisphere, and the beginning of summer in the global south.

Winter Solstice this year will see a rare astronomical event - the Great Conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn. Google is also celebrating the Winter Solstice and the Great Conjunction with its latest doodle. You might be able to catch a glimpse of the Great Conjunction, happening for the first time in 400 years today, without any special equipment.

Todays 'Great Conjunction' of Jupiter and Saturn: According to the NASA, Saturn and Jupiter are "easy to see without special equipment". Jupiter and Saturn have been gradually coming close to each other few days before the conjunction and star-gazers have been tracking it closely. Here is the time in your city and tips to watch and click the event

Google Doodle observes Winter Solstice, Great Conjunction today. Winter Solstice,the shortest day and the longest night of the year, is a phenomena that occurs when one of the Earth's poles has its maximum tilt away from the Sun.

Great Conjunction: The Jupiter and Saturn appear to pass each other nearly once every 20 years but what is so extraordinary about today's celestial extravaganza? The NASA says, "It's been nearly 400 years since the planets passed this close to each other in the sky'.

Winter Solstice 2020: December is a month loaded with celestial spectacles. In the last few weeks we have witnessed the Geminids meteor shower and a total Solar Eclipse. Now get ready for the 'Great Conjunction' when two of the giants of our Solar System - Jupiter and the Saturn - will come extremely close to each other tomorrow, first time in near...

The Saturnian solstice occurs about every 15 Earth years as the planet and its entourage slowly orbit the sun, with the north and south hemispheres alternating their roles as the summer and winter poles.

NASA's Cassini spacecraft has beamed back images of a giant storm erupting on Saturn as the ringed planet's solstice arrived today, marking a new milestone for the mission that is approaching the end of its 20-year-long journey in space.
