I had to search on it. The only things I found were a joke about “If aliens are looking at us from a telescope, I bet they thing the DOGS are the master - we pick up their poop, feed them,....”
And - in the Seinfeld writing room he had images from the Hubble up on the wall - to keep him humble, and that what he said or did - it really didn’t matter that much!
Ya never know - maybe you were the inspiration for either or both of those! (Don’t check the years, and just assume that you were!!)
I didn’t know that about seeing the phases of Venus. I know that the one and only time I looked through a telescope up at the local school when my kids were little, and saw the rings of Saturn with my very own eyes - WOW! Not very large mind you - but there they were!
Thanks for going through the trouble of looking. Don't know why I never thought of it.
Clarification to what I wrote earlier: Although Venus can, at times, be naked eye visible in the daytime, and, Venus' crescent phases are only, or most easily, seen during the daytime (when she is at the proper angular distance from the Sun), her crescent phases can only be seen with large binocs or a telescope.
Just did a quick search for “Jerry Seinfeld” + “Central Park” and found this...

The Time Jerry Seinfeld Screamed at a Naked, Masturbating Man in Central Park

No, it wasn’t me! My only encounter with him was in 2002, and I wasnt naked, or doing anything but looking at Venus through a pair of binocs! Lol!
