Venus & Mars Are Alright Tonight
|
Venus & Mars Are Alright Tonight  So, for the past few weeks I've been spending the evening hours out on the front porch jamming to tunes while planet gazing. Jupiter and Saturn now appear on the horizon directly in front of my position. As I am near the city, the urban lights outshine the stars, but they cannot yet take the planets from me... |

The evening weather has been fantastic in the Carolina piedmont this year! (which is no surprise, since it's awesome here every year.)  blog on!

I've been looking every night too - I think I may go to the local observatory in a few weeks to see Jupiter and Saturn align in the night sky on December 21. It'll be the closest they've appeared in 800 years. Elevate me...

I had a good glimpse of those two planets the week before Thanksgiving but I had trouble spotting Mars in the east. Venus is the morning star but I'm never up that early! Opportunity may knock only once, but temptation bangs on the door forever!

Thanks! I can't miss em. They are the only things shining, and with the moon glowing in the same frame... wow. Really cool to see, actually. City folk don't get much in the way of astral imagery. blog on!

I would get eaten alive by mozzies if I were to sit outside. I did dare to go outside a few times yesterday to watch the choppers coming and going to pick up water to put out a bush fire one suburb away from me. Took them 3 hours, which was pretty amazing, and Summer starts tomorrow. Going to be another too long hot Summer.

Got way to wet trying tis and finally the torrential rains for two days completely have obliterated the sky. Maybe tonight will be better (Virtual Symposium Group) use Virtual Symposium Group

Thanks for the reminder on this. We forget sometimes as we gaze up at the cloud-obscured sky... sigh, I need warmer climes! ~~~" Someone I loved once gave me a box full of darkness. It took me years to understand that this too, was a gift." --Mary Oliver~~~
