Great Conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter Live Stream!

Here near Raleigh, N.C. I think I could see it outside it is clear . It looks like just one star , I was looking just alittle west of sunset . Thanks for posting your live feed .

So is that one big ball I'm seeing on the live stream the actual conjunction?

What will happen? Will the sky explode? We’ll see...

If its visible to the naked eye and straight overhead in the mostly clear Florida skies, then I can see them.

Astrophysicist say if Jupiter was just a little bigger, it would have enough mass to fuse hydrogen and become a star. We would have a binary star solar system.

So if the 2 masses combined, then.....

Nice!

Thank you for this. We can see it from FL tonight, but it's a bit hazy. It was clearer last night.

Incredible to see it like this through your scope.

They can't hit each other.
This is only an optical illusion seen from earth.
Right now from earth:
Jupiter is 880000000 km from earth
and
Saturn is 1600000000 km from earth.
They just happen to be in the same part of the sky in their respective orbits... like a telephone pole 1 km away and another telephone pole in line with it only 2 km away. They look like they can collide but they are in totally different locations.
hth.

Correct. I aligned it earlier today using my phone's tilt sensor to match my latitude and sighting along the north-south orientation of my house. Sure enough it put Jupiter in the field of view of my 32mm eyepiece with the first goto. Never done it that way before but in a pinch it worked well enough!

800 years and not a star to be seen in my skies overhead.

Sad really as I don't think I am going to make the next one.

Serves me right I guess for not believing the fairytale that is The Christian beginning.

We have this telescope called celestron astromaster 114.

Wouldn’t have a clue how to use it.

Any chance of you doing a Live stream Messier marathon this coming year?

This is the coolest thing! Tanks Astro!

Probably wise to go equatorial for public viewing as it eliminates the confusion caused by field rotation... which we are very familiar with after over a decade on GLP...

Have fun.
5 stars.

Who's the Man-Excellent.

I was outside looking at the conjunction, from the human eye perspective, they are really close.

:thumb: for the livestream.

they will be closer or thats it? they dont look so close.

Hi Astromut!
Thanks for everything. I have been seen the conjunction for a while, I'm from Puerto Rico, Environmental Engineer, Astronomy has been something I always have Loved. In Puerto Rico We are considered the Area 51 of the Caribbean, the Yunque National Rainforest is called The Portal. What I have been told is, that everything developed over there, is tried over here. UFO hot spot and many other things.

The Arecibo Radio telescope, was a really bad thing. Since a kid I used to visit it. Many stories of UFO over the Area and in near by Lakes. The same goes with the Camuy Cave River System, it's the 3 largest underground river in the World. The same with Roosevelt Roads Base and every base of the Air Force in PUERTO RICO. Read and learn about History!

The University of Puerto Rico of Arecibo has the Biggest Exoplanet data base for Habitat in other ExoPlanets and Solar Systems!

I know many things, and people on this site, talk sooooo many shits about Puerto Rico, that they don't even imagine, the ramifications of there Knowledge is very shityyy!Lol

Take care and Thanks again!

must be wisconsin

Thanks for sharing this!!

Great imaging... finally subscribed to your channel today!

Thanks for the feed, Astro! Very impressive.

Thread: Jupiter Saturn Conjunction - Jupiter is Trump Saturn is the Deep State

Thank you Dr. Astro

Here in FL it was about 10 o'clock position from the Moon. RED Kine COLOR. Binocs too shaky but from eye could see rings of Saturn. Lot of Pzazz leading up to it. Glad I had the chance to see. It was clear sky.

Very nice, thank you Astro!
