    You can already see it. I've seen it for the past week or so.

    I like our planets. I still consider Pluto a planet, by the way, and no one will ever change my mind. Poor Pluto. I'd give Pluto a hug if I was larger and impervious to life-sucking cold temperatures. And didn't require Earth's atmosphere to survive.

    Never mind. Pluto knows how I feel.

    I tell my students, "Back in my day we had NINE planets!"

    Remember "My Very Excellent Mother Just Sent Us Nine Pizzas"? I has a sad now :cry:

    I learned "My Very Energetic Mother Just Sewed Us New Pants." :) I guess we won't have any new pants.

    my crunchy granola, new-age, pranic-healing, "angels-are-among-us-but-make-friends-with-Jesus-Ganesh-Buddha-and-Amma-and-Master Cho-just-in-case" friend told me we're in retrograde now. evidently that causes confusion.

    I don't know much about it, can't find anything good on the internet but my dad sent me this in an email:

    the planets are going to be in a once in a lifetime configuration tonight. In the Western sky almost due west, at about 60 degrees, one can see the two brightest "stars" in the sky, very close to each other. The brightest is Jupiter and the other one is Venus. Also in that area is Mercury which can be seen with binoculors and Uranus with a hobby telescope. At some time tonight, they will be in alinement. The will not happen again in our life time. Over in the east, you can see the red tinged twinkle of Mars almost due east at about 50 degrees. Something to show the kids.


    Anyone got any more info? I can definitely see Jupiter and Venus.

    Cool..... I'm going to look thru my google skymap app on my phone right now, and check it out. Thanks a bazillion. :wink:

    If you scroll down a bit on that .avi I can see Uranus.

    You beat me to it....
    My line " Uranus is bigger than the Earth....."











    Yo I typed that before I took my meds too.
