Walker570 Posted December 18, 2020 Report Share Posted December 18, 2020 Just reading about the alignment of the planets which will occur shortly and only every 800 or so years and produces and very bright 'star' in the sky although obviously not a real star(sun). They calculate that this may be the 'star' referred to in the three wise men story as of course back then with little or no light polution the incident of such would produce a very bright object in the sky where it would not normally be. Have a happy carefree Christmas and may 2021 prove to be a very good year for all of you. By the way for those who do not read the Telegraph there is a cartoon in the Business section...Alex ... and today it depicted the STAR and three wise men but they carried toilet rolls, baked beans and hand sanitiser.

Walker570 Posted December 18, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2020 Monday night apparently. Let us hope the sky stays clear as it might be 800yrs before we get another chance. Hopefully it will be remembered as the day we finally kicked the EU up the backside and became a free country once again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t bank on it mate, it will probably be ******* down & 800yrs time they still will be trying to get a deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zapp Posted December 19, 2020 Report Share Posted December 19, 2020 I noticed them earlier whilst walking. Pretty striking to see them so close (in a linear sense). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can understand the effect this would have on people who had not the knowledge of the Universe we now have and skies in the Middle East would no doubt be clear and the effect far more brilliant. Monday night looks like to be clear here in the Midlands so hopefully we will get a chance to witness it. These two planets are only next door compared with what Hubble has recorded. I have a book of some of those photographs and it blows your mind as to what is actually out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
