Venus and Jupiter conjunction.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-41956191Who'd get up at 4am just to see a bunch of planets? You can see them on wikipedia if you care that much.
Get more excited watching a blank wall than this stuff. Until aliens are on dry land I'm not interested in any of this science/space malarky. Get it off BBC page!!
We were created with intelligent design, some of us may disagree but when admiring the sun, moon, stars, flowers, birds, bees, trees, rivers, mountains, lakes, oceans, cloud, rain, wind, ice - these have all been gifted to us - unfortunately, we cannot appreciate what is free to enjoy; consumerism seems to have sucked our ability to be happy with little pleasures in life, now we all want a mansion
A very rare coming together almost as rare the E.U. giving up on its plans to scupper the will of the British people.......
So close to colliding! Surely that would have caused tragedies even as far as earth!? I think we should be watching planets a lot more closely, we have got lucky this time with the near miss
Apparently we’re all on a big spinning ball, rotating on a fixed axis, at 1000mph and orbiting a sun at 67,000mph, all of which is hurtling through infinite 'space' at an even greater rate of 400,000mph.
The thing is, for me – I don’t feel any spinning, do you ?
No. Venus is a star. It has a hot surface. I looked it up. 460 Celsius, which is pretty hot in my book.
Ha! I just read that Venus is called the morning star!!!!!
I was right all along!!! Red faces and apologies all round!
Still not sure I believe this. I don't think anyone really know if Venus is a star or a planet. It's so far away and nobody has been there.
With all this furore and the event itself it's got me lamenting.
I just cannot see through a telescope!!! I've tried and tried. Even with my nephew's and all I see is black! The scope's have been pointed and on an object or the moon but, I csn't a thing.
Bet it's my visual impairment that's the cause of this. Shame really.
