In early December 1899 the Sun and the naked-eye planets appeared to lie within a band 35 degrees wide along the ecliptic as seen from the Earth. As a consequence, over the period 1–4 December 1899, the Moon reached conjunction with, in order, Jupiter, Uranus, the Sun, Mercury, Mars, Saturn and Venus.
This great conjunction was also the most easily visible close conjunction since 1226 (as the previous close conjunctions in 1563 and 1623 were closer to the Sun and therefore more difficult to see). [22] It occurred seven weeks after the heliocentric conjunction, when Jupiter and Saturn shared the same heliocentric longitude. [23]
Solar conjunction generally occurs when a planet or other Solar System object is on the opposite side of the Sun from the Earth. From an Earth reference, the Sun will pass between the Earth and the object.
The term is often applied when the Sun and Moon are in conjunction or in opposition . [4] When Earth is one of the bodies involved, the other objects appear to be close together (or overlapping) in the sky.
