As being reported, Jupiter and Saturn will merge in the night sky Monday, appearing closer than they have in centuries.
The reunion of Jupiter and Saturn is known as the ‘Great Conjunction’.
It will be the closest Jupiter-Saturn pairing since July 1623, when the two planets appeared a little nearer.
