About this image

A cropped image of the two gas giants the day before their closest conjunction a mere 6 arcminutes apart. The were easily visible as separate objects with the naked eye, with Jupiter very much brighter than Saturn. The colour difference between the whiteness of Jupiter and yellowish tinge of Saturn is also obvious.
