JUPITER AND SATURN


 Shot taken by Jim Wright from Stonekettle Station. Shot taken today in the Florida panhandle. The bright one is Jupiter. The smaller dots close by are the four moons decribed by Galileo. The bright dot above is Saturn. Around the solstice the two planets will be at their closest. The last time they were this close was around 1674. I offer this since I'm suffering from a bad case of writer's block. If you have clear skies the two are visible to the southwest sometime before dawn.
