Open the explorer and watch Jupiter lap Saturn to make a great conjunction.

  1. Open https://freetoolonline.com/space-3d/planetary-conjunction.html and wait for the two orbits.
  2. Watch faster Jupiter (tan) catch up to slower Saturn (pale gold).
  3. See the bright line-up flash when they share the same direction - a great conjunction.
  4. Follow the orange markers: each lands about 117 degrees on, tracing a triangle.
  5. Change the speed, pause, or hide the marks, and read the facts panel for the 19.86-year figure.
