once every 800 years, mom called and made me go out and look at it. she let me look through the binoculars and i could see 2 alligned. from the naked eye it just looked like one bright star. well i guess they’re planets jupiter and saturn?

Someone should post it here I wonder if it looks different in different parts of the world. I’ll have a look to see if there’s one from the UK

They just mentioned on the local news here in the SF Bay Area that the Chabot Observatory will start live streaming the event starting at 5pm (California time).
The Facebook and YouTube live stream links are in this article.

Here’s the YouTube link which will start live streaming in 30 minutes.

weird how this has already happened in the Uk but not yet in US eventhough we are able to talk to one another here on the forum. it is as if it is happening twice.

It’s a huge deal to my wife. I humoured her and we tried to look for it. We’re having a massive storm system roll through so it’s no go.

The neighbours houses are in the way so I can’t see it IRL. I will just watch YouTube with the running commentary of the Chabot Observatory (masked) nerds.

For some reason “The Great Conjunction” makes me immediately think “The Great Conjunctivitis”

Whoohoo! I was able to see it over the tops of my neighbors houses and was able to distinguish Jupiter and Saturn using my binoculars.

The astronomer on YouTube said that next time the planets will be this close at Christmas will be in the year 2742 or something, so I guess I’ll see you guys for another chat about this in 700 years or so.
