• Taking a photo with Saturn's clearly rings visible is anything but crap.

    Having read that the conjunction would appear as one bright star, from that image it would seem Saturn's contribution is pretty negligible. Was it really that much brighter than just Jupiter alone?

  • Saturn is not only much smaller than Jupiter but also many millions of miles further away, so you’re right, it doesn’t really compare. Saturn was only just visible to the naked eye in the twilight, whereas Jupiter was quite easy to spot.
