Paragraph 2
The next conjunction will not be
from Earth for another 20 years. The next
will be August 2040. This month's
was special because the planets appeared in the
they are positioned from the sun. Saturn was the
away and Mercury was nearest. Another
said the conjunction was made better on Friday morning as a
moon joined the five planets. She called it a "
sight". The conjunction is rare because the five planets all have different
of the sun. Mercury takes 88 days to orbit the sun, while
takes 29 years.
