I live in the country, no city lights, and the view of this was awesome.
Sounds Sirius.
Go outside!
Lookup!
Saw it too, very cool.
I saw the little beeber this morning in the shower
LOL. Think I’ll turn on my satelitte music station now to Sirius, and to the Moody Blues channel.
Seriously, this was neat to see earlier tonight. I was wondering what that big star was beside the moon. Just went outside again and saw where the star is closer to the moon now.
Anyway, I was curious so I googled it and posted what I found. The moon was absolutely beautiful, and I wondered what that star was about.
Also, wondering what the plentiful deer are doing in my yard, they do come out and feed at night when the moon is full. Could this alignment mean I need to bundle up tonight and go fishing?
Overcast :-(
huntin’
I heard about this on local news.
Wind chill values as low as -5 here.
Maybe my luck will change.
I’m on a 40 year losing streak.
Maybe tommorrow is the day things become great.
Little beebers deserve respect too. I’m glad it made an impression on you ;)
The Moon is actually going to occult Mars for viewers in Europe at around 4am (tomorrow) local time.
My mistress in Madrid will see that
No sleep for “Cancers” The Crab that is !
Check this out when you head to the hunting stand in the morning CL.
Proud_yank, we miss you, call home and let us know if you see it in Alaska.
I think this is cool, ElkGroveDan. So many people live in cities that are so lit up they miss this stuff. But it really was a beautiful sight to behold earlier this evening, when the moon was low.
LOL
We were posting on the same article at the same time but on different threads. I saw it as well this evening. I watched the moon rise then saw mars next to it. It was spectacular. In fact, Mr G took some pictures of it.
Don’t think I can bundle up quite enough to want to go fishing though. I will make some nice hot chocolate however!
It was 50 degrees here today, and after dark, we had blowing rain. It will wash away some of the nasty black stuff on top of the snow on the roadsides, so that's good. We'll still have enough snow on the ground for it to be a White Christmas.
Thanks.
Overcast and snowing
