/conjunction
/conjunction [location] [remember] [days_ahead]
Finds which pairs of planets (or a planet and the Moon) currently appear closest together in the sky — a striking naked-eye sight when two bodies get within a few degrees of each other.
Usage:
• /conjunction location: Flagstaff, AZ — closest pairings right now
• /conjunction location: Flagstaff, AZ days_ahead: 30 — instead
finds each pair’s closest approach sometime in the next 30 days
(max 90), useful for planning ahead rather than just checking tonight
The lookahead mode samples every 3 hours, not continuously, so the exact time it reports can be off by up to that much — good for “this pairing peaks around March 3rd,” not exact-minute precision.

location | No | City name, decimal, or DMS coordinates. Leave blank to use your saved default. |
remember | No | Also save this as your new default location (otherwise this is a one-off lookup) |
days_ahead | No | Scan this many days ahead for each pair's closest approach, instead of just right now (max 90) |
