"It was a spectacular sight as both planets [Jupiter and Saturn] appeared in the same field of view of telescopes and binoculars, but in reality it was little more than a line-of-sight trick of perspective, since the two planets remained about 456 million of miles apart", wrote Jamie Carter of Forbes, referencing last month's great conjunction.
Though the three planets seem to be bumping elbows, they are still taking social-distancing guidelines to the extreme.
Spectators should find an unobstructed view of the horizon and begin gazing at the stars no later than 45 minutes after sunset.
