The thin crescent moon will meet up with the solar system's second-largest planet, Saturn for the first time in 2024 on Sunday (Jan. 14), during a close approach between the two celestial bodies.
At the same time, the 3-day-old moon will move into an astronomical arrangement with Saturn, the sixth planet from the sun, called a conjunction — which refers to the fact that the two bodies will have the same right ascension, or celestial equivalent of longitude.
