Off-topic: astrological mumbo jumbo ...

Dax, on May 3-5, 2000, all of the naked eye visible objects
in the solar system will be within 23 degrees of each other
on the sky. That's Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter,
and Saturn.

- It has no astronomical significance whatsoever.

- It is not possible for you to observe most of it because
the light from the Sun and the Moon will drown out almost all
of the planets.

- We can expect about 16 zillion calls to astronomy departments
and planetariums.

- Astrologers will cheat folks out of millions of dollars
with a "need for immediate readings to comprehend the magnitude
of this event on your life".

- The only interesting part is that an orbiting telescope
just might be able to get a solar system family portrait
if one could work out proper sheilding to the Sun (in order
not to fry the electronics). Probably too big a problem.
