Sorry folks, I could well be wrong - what I was looking at was a conjunction
of Earth-Jupiter-Saturn, whereas the conjunction being refered to is
probably Sun-Jupiter-Saturn

What I still don't get about it is the period of time - 6 months ??!!
Considering that both planets are orbiting the Sun at a few million
km/day, a 'conjunction' that lasts 6 months can't be very precise on
the actual alignment of the planets in question

Oh well, I'll just nip off & shoot myself
