I don't know by heart whether such a thing has ever taken place or what is the period and don't bother to look it up right now. Speaking of it's effect on the Solar system, the effect is extremely minor even on a relatively long run due to the rarity of such conjunctions .
On further review, I'm coming into agreement with the OP:

I kind of thought the odds of that would be about the same as having all the plants(sic) in the solar system line up in one straight line on one side of the sun.Where, suppose you will only accept that all planets in line means that each planet must be some exceptionally small distance (say, planck length) from a gravitationally warped geodesic in spacetime. Then the chances of this occurring is roughly equivalent to one religion being entirely accurate, say 1 chance in ten to the gazillionth and not to be expected in any reasonably arguable lifetime of the universe.
My expectation that it would not have any substantial effect other than 'oh, wow, that's neat!' stands.
So how, exactly, does God know that She's NOT a brain in a vat?
