O.T. Thanks for the reminder Jon. I saw Jupiter and Venus very close together (about a moon's diameter) last night shortly after sunset. Awesome. A sight to behold since Jupiter and Venus are the two brightest objects in the sky except for the Sun and Moon. Tonight will be the closest these two bright bodies have appeared since well before the U.S. was born as a nation (I don't remember the exact date, perhaps since about 1728). Look in the western sky at dusk tonight. East coast viewers will see a slightly closer conjuction as the planets will have parted slightly by the time dusk reaches the West. I'm not too superstitous but this rare astronomical event is a nice welcome as the Q finally gets some respect at the end of this millenium. In Roman Mythology, Jupiter is the supreme God and patron of the Roman state. Venus is the Goddess of sexual love and physical beauty. So we have the God of Gods doin' it with the babe of babes. Sounds rather earth-shaking. Throw in the setting moon and we have the three brightest objects in the night sky in the closest conjuction seen since the early 1700's. May clear skies be with you.
