The Great Gig in the Sky
Dec 24, 2020 20:29:17 #
So we were witnesses to a "Great Gig in the Sky" the other night, (not referring to Clare Torry here although perusing the term). Another one like that won't be seen until 800 years from now. The Great Conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn put out a nice spectacle for all the Earthlings that cared to look to the southwestern sky, just after the sunset. The half moon looked good as well so here I put them all together in one frame.

Very nice! Jupiter with 4 moons, and Saturn with rings - very sharp, with a good viewing of the moon. Thanks for sharing, and Merry Christmas!

Fabulous window into another world that I can only dream about here in Northern VA....
Thinking what an awesome time the earliest lens grinders must of had...
"When Galileo first viewed Jupiter through a telescope — on January 7, 1610, he discovered that the planet was accompanied by three "stars" in a line. Imagine his surprise the next night, when he found that the trio had shifted in position. On later nights he spied a fourth moon as well."
btw, Galileo's "looker" was a 20X telescope.... While your "looker" is a 14X telescope jabra...
What a brilliant mind Galileo had... he unlocked the riddles of our universe that had been misunderstood for thousands years... actually it was a Dutch Lens grinder who opened up the window... Galileo followed in his footsteps...
Thank you for sharing jabra... remembering my days in Wyoming where at 8,000 feet above sea level the winter night time sky was a magical thing to behold....
