I’m with you! I’ve missed the show the last couple of days, but we here in Commiefornia are supposed to have clear weather tomorrow, the best day, as well.

I’ve set the alarm and am determined not to miss it! Closest pass in 400 years!

The only thing better would be a total occultation, where Saturn is completely blocked from view by Jupiter. The last one was 10,000 years ago, and the next one won’t come around until 7800 AD, approx. So it’s now or never!

Good luck there in Wisconsin. Get up high where your view of the horizon isn’t blocked!

Overcast last night - hoping for clear skies tonight because this is the last hurrah before it’s below the horizon.

At least we got to see them quite close and with the Crescent Moon the other evening, so there’s that.

Fingers Crossed. I suppose yelling at clouds won’t help? LOL!
