Description

With Saturn and Jupiter approaching opposition this month, I find myself thinking back to the conjunction that occurred this past December. I took this quick single-frame snapshot of the planets and their moons when they were at about one degree of angular separation from each other.

I didn't share this here at the time, but thought it might be interesting to share now. Until recently, I don't think I really appreciated just how difficult it is to capture so many moons within a single frame like this.
