CJanuary 24
DJanuary 20
Correct answer
A. January 22
Explanation
The conjunction of Venus and Saturn occurs when the two planets appear very close to each other in the sky from Earth’s perspective. In January, Venus and Saturn come into conjunction on the 22nd, appearing just a fraction of a degree apart. This is a great opportunity for skywatchers to view both planets through binoculars or a telescope in the same field of view.
