Group 1 - The conjunction of Neptune and Saturn is a rare astronomical event, occurring after 36 years since their last close angular distance [1][2] - Neptune will be positioned approximately 1 degree north of Saturn, which is equivalent to the width of two full moons [2] - The brightness difference between Saturn (magnitude 0.9) and Neptune (magnitude 7.8) is significant, making Neptune difficult to observe without a small telescope [2][3] Group 2 - The best time for observation will be after midnight, looking towards the southeast sky [3] - Observers are encouraged to use small telescopes in areas with minimal light pollution for optimal viewing conditions [3] - The conjunction presents a unique opportunity for astronomy enthusiasts to capture rare photographs of both planets [3]
