Five Planet Alignment

Wow, that sent a little shiver up my spine, very impressive

You can see why our ancestors used to set a big store by such things and see gods and omens in them

The video doesn’t work for me.
Worshiping something like the sun seems to make more sense than some old beardy bloke. :grinning:

It does, doesn’t it, especially when they didn’t know what the sun was

It’s a shame you can’t see the video, it’s good. When they line up straight it really does look weird and unnatural

More info:

Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Uranus, Mars, and the Moon aligned in an arc across the evening sky on Monday, with some visible to the naked eye.

This is often called “a planetary parade” and was visible after sunset in the west.

A good view of the horizon and clear skies offered the best chance of spotting the alignment.

This may be the best view that was available to most, with only the closest planets visible:

Celestial magnificence.
Sadly to cloudy Tuesday evening

Four wheel alignment is more important on planet Earth, saves a fortune on replacement Tyres. :icon_wink:
