Step-by-step explanation:

Jupiter and Saturn will come within 0.1 degrees of each other, forming the first visible "double planet" in 800 years. Jupiter and Saturn will be so close today that they will appear to form a "double planet."

Answer:

Jupiter and Saturn will come within 0.1 degrees of each other, forming the first visible "double planet" in 800 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

The 2020 great conjunction is especially rare, the planets haven't been this close together in nearly 400 years, and haven't been observable this close together at night since medieval times, in 1226.
