[Misc] How To See Jupiter And Saturn's Great Conjunction Tonight

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

'Find somewhere with a clear south-western horizon and look for the brightest thing you can see, low in the twilight sky: that object will be both Jupiter and Saturn, just to the left of Ulloa penalty.'

Tonight’s the ‘best’ night but will be visible for several days yet.......incoming cold, clear spell over Christmas should help [emoji6]

Further to my thread regarding telescopes I started a while back, I purchased a nice 100mm lens set up. Not used it yet as it's been cloudy but looking forwards to getting it out some when this week.

This. I can barely see the top of the downs from my window, the cloud base is so low. Hopefully the weather will clear in the next few days, as predicted.

I live in London and there's no such thing as a low horizon! Shame because last year I bought my daughter an awesome telescope.

I've been looking forward to this and now it's cloudy rain.typical.i will still keep an eye out near the time and hope for some cosmic clearing of the cloud just enough that I can get a glimpse of it.
Failing that I shall try some meditation and try to pick up some cosmic energies.

I'm surprise nobody has mentioned Uranus yet.

I was going to post the film version of Galaxy Song from The Meaning Of Life, then I found this gem.

Don't forget the Great Conjunction; Johnson and Reality coming together. Should be visible by 5pm at the press conference

Earlier on the news, chat between the newsreader and a space know all.
" Will thick cloud stop us from seeing the alignment"
"Possibly"

No chance tonight.maybe over the next few nights.
