Jupiter and Saturn Conjunction

December 17, 2020 @ 08:45 - December 26, 2020 @ 22:45

Jupiter and Saturn are setting earlier now and will disappear from our evening sky by early January. On December 17th a triple conjunction of Saturn, Jupiter and a 2 day old Moon occurs and on the  21st,  22nd,  23rd and 26th Jupiter and Saturn will be closest just after midnight on 21st so on the early hours of 22nd  at 0.1 degrees apart, but it they will be long set in Ballarat by then. Bookings are available for these events.

Keep an eye on the Booking link, if it looks like 21-23 & 26 will be clear, we can add some extra places to observe this once in a lifetime conjunction as it will be an outside event. Lots of other beautiful objects to view as well!

Bookings can be made for weekdays  here

Extra day Saturday 26th here
