Saturn (center-left) and Jupiter (center-right) share a night sky earlier this year near Vantage, Wash. Already this past summer, the two planets were growing closer in the night sky. Later this month, they will appear closer to each other than they have for centuries.

At least, that’s how it will look to someone craning their head aloft. On the winter solstice, the pair of gas giants will appear closer to each other in the night sky than they have in centuries.
