Well, this is a rare event!

this would be nice to see and it can easily be done without the aide of a telescope.

Did you see it? I did. We drove around the corner near a pond and watched it for about 30 minutes. One was so much brighter than the other that I almost couldn't see one of them lol but that's more because of my non-perfect vision and my old glasses I guess.

I did and you described it perfectly. Jupiter just about blocked Saturn out because of it's brightness.
