This is another photo of the Jupiter Saturn Conjunction! πͺπͺπͺ
The two planets are getting closer each day! I love this picture because you can clearly see Jupiterβs 4 largest moons (Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto) and a nice view of Saturn. This event is very rare - Jupiter and Saturn are the closest since the year 1623! β¨β¨β¨

She first started working in astronomy at the California Institute of Technology in 1980, where she made her important discoveries, including 377 minor planets. She received the Exceptional Scientific Achievement Medal from the US National Aeronautics and Space Administration in 1996.
