Mars & Neptune Meet
Mars and Neptune passed near each other around 10 AM on December 7th. They got as close as 2 arcminutes. The two planets continued to move apart after the conjunction. By the time I was able to get a telescope on them, after the sun has set, they were already around 15 arcminutes appart. Still to see two planets together in the eyepiece was a nice sight.
