‘Great Conjunction’ Showcased By Google Doodle; Jupiter And Saturn To Align Today

Must Read

Celebrating the ‘great conjunction’, Google doodle exhibits the two planets in the solar system converging closer in their respective orbits on the first day of winter and giving each other a quick ‘high-five’. Google observes Winter Solstice today, which is the shortest day and the longest night of the year. Such a phenomenon occurs only when one of the earth’s poles has its maximum tilt away from the Sun. The last time we were treated to such a rare planetary alignment, was during the Middle Ages, nearly 800 years ago.

To celebrate this phenomenal day, Google has created an animated Doodle showing Saturn giving Jupiter a high-five as it slides by its solar system orbit, as the “snow-capped” little Earth looks on. They won’t appear this close until 2080.
