That’s when they conjunction takes place (only actually seen from telescope) one planet passing in front of the other from earths angle. The come close all the time but rarely block out vision of planet behind them from our view on earth. Few years ago several planets conjunctions and there was all sorts of theory’s what might happen. But, nothing did.
