@forexbrokr sent me here. As a long time lover of astronomy, I love seeing this type of posts. I used to be that kid observing the sky with a star map in hand and I only had binoculars at the time. There were also mosquitoes. But I loved the experience.
I like using https://www.theplanetstoday.com to get a live view of the solar system :-)

Hello,
Well, seems I was that other kid with Norton’s Star Atlas in hand and a pair of binoculars (actually, my grandfather’s binoculars that I had borrowed). And I am still on the summer menu for mosquitoes through what has been a life-long love of looking at the sky, both night and day.
Let’s hope the weather cooperates for the most part through to the upcoming closest approach on December 21 and the first few days thereafter.
Glad you enjoyed the post and I am sure there will be some interesting images showing different aspects of what is sure to be a beautiful conjunction.
What makes things even more fun is that all planets will be confined to one half of the solar system and we are seeing all this a week after an eclipse. Planets are busy just like what 2020 has been. Even cryptocurrency are seeing a new resurgence.
