The moon meets up with Saturn on Sunday (March 19) with the two celestial bodies sharing the same right ascension, an arrangement called a conjunction.
The thin sliver of the moon, which will be in its waning crescent phase, will pass south of Saturn by 3°35' according to In the Sky. Both the moon and the gas giant, which is the second-largest planet in the solar system will be in the constellation of Aquarius during the conjunction.
