Description
Press release from St. Louis Science Center:
April 4, 2022
This morning just before sunrise, a conjunction of Mars and Saturn occurs above the eastern horizon. A conjunction is when two objects appear at their closest as they pass each other in the sky. This pairing of Mars and Saturn is a particularly close one, as these objects will appear less than 1° from each other in our sky. To measure 1°, hold your arm outstretched toward the sky and look at the width of your pinkie finger.
