Jupiter and Saturn conjunction 2020: Mars and Venus visible in Australian skies - 7NEWS.com.au

Australians are set to get a perfect view of two of the biggest planets in the solar system as Jupiter and Saturn orbit the closest to Earth in 20 years.

“Jupiter and Saturn will be visible in the east just after sunset,” Jacquie Milner from Mount Burnett Observatory told 7NEWS.com.au.

But some planets will be viewed better on their own, with July 14 singled out as the best night to see Jupiter, which will be at its biggest and brightest.

“Jupiter and Saturn are at their best this July,” Milner said.
