And it will converge Jupiter and Saturn Monday evening above the horizon shortly after sunset at 22:37 Abu Dhabi time or 21:37 Mecca time, 20:37 Cairo time, 18:22 GMT, to a distance that is the closest in nearly 400 years.

The two giant gaseous planets will appear in the same field of view of the observation tools, giving the impression that they are close to the point of merging with hundreds of millions of kilometers separating them in reality.

To enjoy this scene, you must use a small observation tool, create a completely diverted sky, and aim your view in the direction of the southwest, in a range of land that includes areas Western Europe (Ireland, Britain, France, Spain and Portugal), as well as large parts of Africa.

The apparent rapprochement between the two planets began months ago, and will reach the nearest day’s distance Winter solstice (In a coincidence of time), which will give the impression that the two planets are one celestial body.

Purity "France Brush" About Florent Delphi from the Paris Observatory "BSL" Saying that "Great pairing" he is "The time the two planets take to reach similar relative positions with respect to Earth".

وأضاف دلففي: "Using a small observational instrument that might simply be just a telescope, we’ll be able to see Jupiter’s two equatorial belts and his principal moons, with Saturn’s rings in one frame.".

Jupiter, the largest planet, orbits Sun Group, Around the Sun in 12 years, while Saturn’s cycle takes 29 years.

About every twenty years, the two planets appear to converge when observing the sky from Earth.

The last great conjunction dates back to the year 2000, but the difference between the two planets was not insignificant to the degree that the world will witness the two, since 1623, and the world will not witness an event similar to this degree of convergence between the two planets before March 15, 2080.

France Press” quoted Florent Delphi of the Paris Observatory, “BSL” as saying that “the great conjunction” is “the time that the two planets put to reach similar relative positions with respect to the Earth.”

Delphi added: “By using a small observation instrument that may simply be just a telescope, we will be able to see the two equatorial belts of Jupiter and its main moons, with Saturn’s rings in one frame.”
