grand conjunction on dec 23 2007

[warthog91]

from wikipedia<br />http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conjunction_%28astronomy_and_astrology%29#2007<br />A very remarkable planetary/galactic configuration occurs on December 23rd and 24th 2007. The configuration on December 23 — Mars, Earth, Sun, Mercury, Jupiter, Galactic Centre — is shown in the graphic simulation linked below; it becomes even more remarkable in that it will be accompanied by the Full Moon (conjunct Mars) at about 2 a.m. on December 24 when a simultaneous Venus square Neptune occurs. It is even more remarkable in that the Pluto/Sun conjunction appears exactly on the Winter Solstice, just past conjunction with the Galactic Centre.<br />http://space.jpl.nasa.gov/cgi-bin/wspace?tbody=1000&vbody=1001&month=12&day=23&year=2007&hour=00&minute=00&fovmul=1&rfov=10&bfov=100&porbs=1<br /><br />Link below is the view from Mars toward the Jupiter, Mars, Earth, Mercury, Pluto alignment toward the Galactic Centre on 23 December 2007 which occurs just after the Pluto/Jupiter (Heliocentric) conjunction on 23 November 2007. NASA Solar System Simulator for 23rd Dec 2007<br /><br />Solar System on Dec 22, 2007. What is not shown is Pluto (which would be to Jupiter's right) Saturn, which follows down from Venus, and Uranus and Neptune. Saturn and Neptune form the cross's t-member. It is a 23/12 configuration. There will be a full moon on Dec. 23, 2007 <br /><br />funny why no one has posted this?is this event not good enough.<br /><br />

So what?<br /><br />It's not like there's any alignment that's spectacular to view from here on earth.<br /><br />See ya in Phenomena... <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><font color="#000080"><em><font color="#000000">But the Krell forgot one thing John.

I still remember the conjunction from circa 1980. That was maybe the coolest thing I've ever seen. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <em>"2012.. Year of the Dragon!! Get on the Dragon Wagon!".</em> </div>

Its a visual phenomena for earthlinks. Little significance as far as spacescience is concerned. But yes this type of phenomena is very useful in researching religious patterns and ancient customs.

That's the thing...this conjunction is not a great visual phenomena for earthlings. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><font color="#000080"><em><font color="#000000">But the Krell forgot one thing John.

<i>See ya in Phenomena... </i><br /><br />Well, as long as no one mentions Velikovsky and "Syzgzy," all is well. Mebbe. Possibly. Provisionally. For the moment. I think. Perhaps.<br /><br />And that's my final answer. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><em>Differential Diagnosis:  </em>"<strong><em>I am both amused and annoyed that you think I should be less stubborn than you are</em></strong>."<br /> </p> </div>

warthog91<br /><font color="yellow">funny why no one has posted this?</font><br /><br />The reason is because it has no scientific significance. Its only importance is to mystics and astrologers. There aren't a whole lot of them around here. They get roasted and toasted such that they generally look somewhere else for support. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p> </p><p> </p> </div>

Where are the Skeksis in all this? <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>

 

[MeteorWayne]

Huh?<br /><br />Can you explain their perspective? <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><font color="#000080"><em><font color="#000000">But the Krell forgot one thing John. Monsters.

FromWiki<br /><br />"The Skeksis are the corrupt rulers of the planet Thra in the film The Dark Crystal. The base of the characters is that they are the selfish and wicked halves of the former ruling UrSkeks. The Skeksis culture favors repetitive flamboyance, emotional pettiness, and a wasteful attitude toward life." <br /><br />A spoke person for the Skeksis urged more resources be allocated to the Grand Conjunction, while complaining about the current shortage of rhinstones. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p> </p><p> </p> </div>
