BOLO for Jupiter, Neptune, and Venus
« on: February 05, 2023, 08:40:29 PM »
Any units west of 105° longitude and a clear sky look for these three planets just before sunset about 45° up*,  southwest.

SPECTACULAR !

Looks like a marriage between Jupiter, god of Jollity and Venus, goddess of love, with Neptune officiating.

That is all.

My two year old and I saw that (and a beautiful moonrise) tonight.

He kept calling Jupiter “Julia”.

But nobody wants to look at Uranus.
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.

That;s what they want you to think. Another spy balloon really.

I'm so contrarian that I didn't respond to the thread.

Some pretty bright lights aboard them there "balloons." And following highly predictable paths.  In fact, on March 1 they'll practically bump into each other.

Here's an interesting Orrery because of the paint jobs.
