Comet 45P , the most colorful and easy to see comet in ages , and the Inauguration of the 45th President of the United States , Donald J. Trump ; a mere coincidence ? I don;t think so . This is God's own special blessing upon Mr. Trump and a divine message to America ( well, most of us )

He came , as a comet , streaking in from almost out of nowhere , to illuminate the entire U.S. political scene with his brilliance and to surprise us all with his bright and colorful character .

Is it not appropriate ?

Trump = 45P

Ok, we still look to the skies for the fire breathing dragon as a sign from the gods? Will there be fine planting this year?

Only if you burn someone in the ‘Wicker Man’

Too bad I've been too busy to walk out and have a look when the skies were clear. There was a mitigating circumstance. When it is clear enough to see the comet, the temps are SUBZERO in Pocatello. We have cloud cover moving in right now. NWS forecast says 91% sky cover until about Jan 5th when it should clear to 32%. I may just miss this one.

Yes, if there is enough sex in the fields.

What is the cross of stars at the end of the video? Have never seen stars line up like that.

Another case of “What are the odds?” :)

It’s going to be an interesting January.
