“Mars-Saturn Conjunction” is copyrighted by Damian Peach. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteFainter stars in the zodiacal constellation Capricornus are scattered near the plane of the ecliptic in this field of view. The two brightest ones at center are not stars at all, but the planets Mars and Saturn. Taken on the morning of April 4, this telescopic snapshot captured their close conjunction in a predawn sky. The pair of planets were separated by only about 1/3 of a degree, easily less than the apparent width of a Full Moon.
