Bright Planet Conjunctions
A planet conjunction is when two planets appear at the same Right Ascention ( R.A. ) in the sky as seen from earth.. They appear closest together near the time, they are at the same Right Ascention. As the orbits of the planets have different inclinations, that effects how close they appear to get.
All dates are calculated using the local time zone in effect on those dates. So for some the date will be different, then seen from a different source which might use universal time in the calculations ,or a different time zone.
Not all conjuctions shown here, will be seen.
