  The latest conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn occurred at an optical distance
of 6 arc minutes on 21 December 2020. We re-analysed all encounters of these
two planets between -1000 and +3000 CE, as the extraordinary ones
(<10$^{\prime}$) take place near the line of nodes every 400 years. An
occultation of their discs did not and will not happen within the historical
time span of $\pm$5,000 years around now. When viewed from Neptune though,
there will be an occultation in 2046.
