Description

This is an image of the Great Conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn just 6 days before their closest encounter. The image was captured through cloud using an 8 second exposure to reveal Jupiter's 4 Galilean Moons and Saturn's rings, but with the consequence that Jupiter is over exposed. Callisto is to the left of Jupiter, with Io, Europa and Ganymede seen in order away from Jupiter's right side.
