“Skywatchers, you’re in for a once-in-a-lifetime treat! Jupiter and Saturn are doing a planetary dance that will result in the great conjunction on December 21, just after sunset,” the official Twitter account of NASA tweeted.

“Find a spot with an unobstructed view of the sky, such as a field or park. Jupiter and Saturn are bright, so they can be seen even from most cities,” said NASA.

Space scientists have asked people to to the south-western sky an hour after sunset on Monday to catch a glimpse of Jupiter that will resemble a bright star and Saturn that will appear slightly fainter to the left of Jupiter.

Jupiter will finally overtake Saturn and both will reverse positions in the sky.

Although the planets can be seen with the naked eye, those viewing them through binoculars or a small telescope may be able to see Jupiter’s four large moons orbiting it.
