London - Sana

Astronomers are preparing to view the largest planets in the solar system side by side in a major correlation in a phenomenon not seen since 1623.

The British Guardian newspaper reported that astronomers are in anticipation of a celestial scene that has not happened since 1623, when Jupiter and Saturn, the two largest planets in the solar system, will appear in the closest visible “great association” close to each other shortly after sunset, as it will reach its climax next Monday evening. An appearance is closer than it was nearly four hundred years ago.

"It is really special that Jupiter and Saturn are visible and very close to each other," said the Guardian, Emily Drabek Mounder, astronomer at the Royal Observatory in Greenwich, adding that "it is beautiful and exciting to explore."

For his part, Matthew Batt, professor of theoretical astrophysics at the University of Exeter, said: "As far as we know, no one will see Jupiter and Saturn very close to each other in the lens of a telescope before this year, which makes this event very distinctive."

It is reported that this unique phenomenon of the two planets closely approaching to appear as a bright star will not be repeated until 2080.
