I can see that astronomy is not your forte.

Carry on.

If you don’t want to watch, then don’t.

You can see nothing.

I was explaining phases of the moon to my mother before I was five years old(or so she told me). I owned my first telescope before I was ten years old. My first trip into NYC without an adult was to the Haydn Planetarium when I was 11 years old. My mother took me out of school so I could observe transits of Mercury. I took multiple astronomy courses while pursuing my undergraduate degree. I've been in the path of three total eclipses. (Two successful; one obscured by clouds five minutes before totality. Picture I took from the 2017 total eclipse here.)

Smart a$$, why don't you tell me what other solar system phenomena always occurs at the same point on the celestial sphere? (Please don't tell me the Vernal Equinox!)
