SWdenleader 1 Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 (edited) Hello, Has anyone heard if there is/ will be a patch or program for the upcoming astronomical event, the conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn (next Monday)? In 2017 we did an event for the Solar Eclipse and the boys got nice BSA patches commemorating it. This is a rare event (planets haven't appeared this close since 1623) and I think it would be fitting for a patch. But, thus far, I haven't heard or read anything about it. Thanks!

CynicalScouter 1434 Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 There's no indication they will do this. BSA's busy with the new merit badge and the bankruptcy. Link to post Share on other sites
InquisitiveScouter 1656 Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 The last time this was visible from Earth was during the Early Middle Ages in Europe between the Fifth and Sixth Crusades, and the reign of Genghis Khan in the East. https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/jupiter-and-saturns-great-conjunction-is-the-best-in-800-years-heres-how-to-see-it/ If you can view it, it should be awesome!

MattR 2659 Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 I think a patch showing Jupiter and Saturn crashing into each other would be a real hit. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
