Conjunctions

Blog Posted:3/5/2012 3:13:00 PM

OK,      so you possibly thought it was going to be some grammatical garbage about   words like "and" and "but". . . but it 's not.

Conjunction also describes when two planets appear together in the night sky and are   spectacularly noticeable. If you glance up at the south western sky after sunset -- and any time   later (darker) is much better -- you can't fail to see Venus   and Jupiter as two   extra bright points. Venus is so bright it looks like a big plane's landing lights coming in at a few thousand feet.

Check the sight out,   and each night you will be amazed as these two planets get closer and closer till conjunction on March 13th when they wil lbe only a finger's width apart.

Oh sure, you can Google all the detail you like, but   the main thing is to see it   yourself. . . . . . . it's sheer poetry in motion.

Oh, I'll surely be checking the night sky for this, Sid. Thank you for letting us know. When I'm offshore fishing, I can easily spot Venus and Mars, but now I'll be looing for Jupiter as well. Love, carolyn

We used to lie in the grass when we were kids and stare up at the sky. There's a lifetime of beauty there. I'll have to check this out.
