The Doodle shows a Saturn cartoon swooping down into the night sky to give Jupiter a high five
while wearing a hat, with the Earth jumping up.
In what is known as a "great conjunction." on Monday, Saturn and Jupiter will be at their closest for 400 years. Their proximity will make them appear like a sparkling double planet. For nearly 800 years, this occurrence has not occurred at night. According to NASA, it would be accessible to almost everyone in the world. The planets will always be hundreds of millions of miles away from each other in space, even if they seem very similar when we look up from Earth.
An hour after sunset under a clear view of the sky on the field or park, should able to see the great conjunction. Look to the southwest of the sky, where Jupiter appears to be bright, and Saturn seems to be slightly less visible to its left.
In a statement, NASA astronomer Henry Throop explained the phenomenon: "You can visualise the solar system as a racetrack, with the planets running in its lane, and the Earth running towards the centre of the stadium."
"From our position, we'll see the Jupiter on the inside lane, approaching Saturn all month and finally overtaking it on December 21."
The Winter Solstice has the least day of the year, and this unusual celestial phenomenon is taking place is a pleasant accident.
"Conjunctions like this could occur on any day of the year, depending on where the planets are in their orbits," Throop said.
"The conjunction date is determined by the Jupiter positions, Saturn, and the Earth in their paths around the Sun, while the tilt of Earth's axis determines the date of the solstice. The solstice has the longest night of the year, so this rare coincidence will give people a transcendent chance to go outside and see the solar system."
As if that were not enough for skywatchers, on the night of December 21-22, the annual Ursid meteor shower is due to peak. It could be possible to see five to 10 meteors every hour at its most active stage.
