A great conjunction is a conjunction of the planets Jupiter and Saturn, when the two planets appear closest together in the sky. Great conjunctions, named "great" for being the rarest and one of the brightest and closest on average of the conjunctions between "naked eye" planets. This occurs approximately every 20 years when Jupiter "overtakes" Saturn in its orbit. This conjunction is the closest Jupiter and Saturn have been in almost 400 years.
