They are getting really close together. Tomorrow night I am setting up my larger reflector telescope so we can see them fairly "close up" ... the grandsons are interested in this and following it closely.
While it happens every 20 years, the last time both were this close to the earth and in a position to be this observable was in 1226.
On the 21st they will be about 1 degree apart.
