When the stars aline (along with a some other stuff too)

This is so effin kewl.

Tomorrow morning - the moon, venus, saturn and mars all visible near each other. Now throw in the space shuttle and space station for good measure. Still not enough for ya? How about a comet too!

What happens when they align?

I'm not sure, but I think there's a song there somewhere...

Of course, this would be one of the foggiest days in Southern California all year. With those conditions a potential for the dawn, I'm reluctant to get up before it.

But for some reason, this much space stuff visible to the naked eye is spellbinding to me .... even if I don't see it with my naked eye.

Well - at 4:30 am I could see the moon and venus. that's it. By the time an hour rolled by, the fog was in and I couldn't see a thing.

Still - I think I'll pretend it all means I'm going to have a super fabulous day!

why? I dunno. Just seems like the thing to do. HOpefully it'll leak over to tomorrow when I've got a performance review schdueled which hopefully equals a raise. I've been employee of the month twice now - that should count for something!

The moon and Venus were crystal clear in the sky this morning, and beautiful!

Aww, it's definitely too foggy to see anything out here.

I saw it this morning when I left for work at 5:45. It was simply amazing, and in my astronomical ignorance I had no idea that Saturn could be seen so clearly with the naked eye.
