- December 21, 2020

Jupiter and Saturn are seen coming together in the night sky, over the sails of Brill windmill, for what is known as the Great Conjunction, on December 20, 2020 in Brill, England. The planetary conjunction is easily visible in the evening sky and will culminate on the night of December 21. This is the closest the planets have appeared for nearly 800 years.
