In a separate Tumblr post, NASA suggested that one must find a spot with an open view of sky like a field or park to view great conjunction unfold. As both planets are bright, y can be viewed from most cities. An hour after sunset, one must look to southwestern sky. While Jupiter will look like a bright star, Saturn, on or hand, will be slightly faster and will appear slightly above and to left of Jupiter.
