abstract:A triple conjunction is an astronomical event, where two planets or a planet and a star meet each other three times in a short period either in opposition or at the time of inferior conjunction, if an inferior planet is involved. The visible movement of the planet or the planets in the sky is therefore normally prograde at the first conjunction, retrograde at the second conjunction and again prograde at the third conjunction.

Hughes's best explanation for this series of events is something known as a tripleconjunction between Jupiter and Saturn - with the two planets coming close together in the sky three times over a short period.
