Winter Solstice ++++ THE GREAT CONJUCTION

article image placeholderLook up!
Okay. Let me see if I can get this right. So today is the shortest day of the year, but it's the longest night of the year. And so we're honoring two things. We're honoring the winter solstice. And we're also commemorating the great Conjunction, which involves the two largest planets, which is Jupiter and Saturn. And they nearly overlap

LOOK UP TONIGHT Saturn & Jupiter Are not social distancing at all! Party 🎉 right after sunset #sky #astronomy

Happy winters, olstas. That's great. I hope I can see the Saturn and Jupiter stuck together. I'm out on the East Coast, though, so I'm gonna have to look up and see what time is the best time to to look to the southwest. If it's still the Southwest. I'm sure it is, but have a great winter solstice. Take care. Bye

a few moons as well 🌙 🪐

Yeah. For the past two nights, I've busted out my kids telescope and set it up, pointing it to the southwest, just after sunset for about 45 minutes to an hour before they dip below the houses across the street. I can see Saturn and Jupiter in the same viewfinder. Normally, they're up in the night sky all the time, but for much of the year

Summer Solstice in Australia! https://s.swell.life/SSJqxQeAoFTxmwv

And I did a bit of research about the meaning of these things astrologically, and I'll summarize them for you here. But I'm going to give you a link to an amazing website I found, which is actually quite American centric. So you guys, you all love that, won't you? Now, first things first, this conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn is moving into an era of an eight. Java Query this is the dawning of the eight. Java queries
