Did you know that Jupiter and Saturn sketch out the golden ratio in time and space? Just line them up with Earth and track their orbits around the Sun. This sublime number has fascinated philosophers and mathematicians for ages, adding a touch of cosmic majesty to our understanding of the solar system.

here is how it works:

Starting with the planets in a straight line at '12 o'clock,' Earth races around the Sun in 365.24 days. It then continues just a bit more to align with slower Saturn after 378.1 days. Three weeks later, it lines up with Jupiter after 398.9 days. The varying orbital distances and times between these alignments beautifully illustrate the golden ratio.
