What's up with the Jupiter and Saturn beams?
This was made around December 2020 during the "Great Saturn and Jupiter Conjunction". From the perspective of the Earth, they had gotten so close together in the sky that they appeared to the naked eye as a single object. Apparently that's called the Christmas Star, and the last time they had gotten that close was 800 years ago.
As for what allegorical purpose they are filling by being in this cartoon, I have no idea.
Whoa space lore 😲
Can't believe I'm learning about this from a Ben Garrison cartoon wtf
