See a rare alignment of all the planets in the night sky

A grand celestial reunion is due in Earth’s skies throughout June. Sky-watchers will get a rare chance to see all the major planets in our solar system bunched together—with the moon joining the festivities, too, from June 17 to June 27.

This rare alignment includes the five planets easily spotted with the naked eye: Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn. Each is bright enough to be seen even in light-polluted city skies, with brilliant Venus being the brightest and Mercury the faintest. Our closest planets will appear to be arranged across the sky in the same order as their distance from the sun.

Have they given up on the bogus efforts to have people pronounce it your-in-is so to avoid such delightful juvenile humor?

Is the moon in the seventh house? Is Jupiter aligned with Mars? Is this the dawning of the age of Aquarius? Dang, this explains why the hippies are running the show! Spit__.

I just used snowwhite@goose.com, and it allowed me in, for three articles. I often use spoofed email names in cases like this. I’m sure if they wanted to they could get your ISP.

Data is valuable and expensive to gain.

Once they have your info....they sell it to other data miners.....and it’s down the rabbit hole.....:(

When the moon is in the Seventh House
And Jupiter aligns with Mars
Then peace will guide the planets
And love will steer the stars

This is the dawning of the Age of Aquarius
The Age of Aquarius
Aquarius! Aquarius!

Let the Sunshine. Let the sunshine in!
Let the Sunshine. Let the sunshine in!
Let the Sunshine. Let the sunshine in!
Let the Sunshine. Let the sunshine in!
The Sunshine in!
