I dunno, what's this about 1682 and predictions of doom? Where's an astrologer when you need one?

Okay, it's not a regular conjunction. It's a super duper special conjunction.
“Alignments between these two planets are rather rare, occurring once every 20 years or so, but this conjunction is exceptionally rare because of how close the planets will appear to one another,” said Rice University astronomer Patrick Hartigan in a statement. “You’d have to go all the way back to just before dawn on March 4, 1226, to see a closer alignment between these objects visible in the night sky.”
