What did ya'll think of the planetary lineup last night?

[kimmerspixelated]

Wasn't it cool to see Jupiter and Venus with the moon at that odd triangle? The crescent moon in design with the planetary stars reminded me of the russian flag. Odd, that they should be implicated in the DOD attack at the very same time, or maybe it's just me...

1. I was wondering .....

What planets those were last night. We saw them on our way home from work. It was pretty spectacular.

14. Same here

I remember in 1959 (I think) when my Dad took s out on the front porch in Galveston, Tx to see the same configuration telling us that this was something special that we were not likely to see again in our (at least his) lifetime.

Dad died 10 years ago almos to the day (November 28) of this sight. I miss ya' Dad.♠

5. Very cool indeed!

I had heard something on the news about it a few days ago but forgot until last night as I was walking out into the parking lot to leave work. I just happened to look up, and there it was. It was really quite perfect!

6. I just saw it again at the end of my driveway!! ~ It looks awesome!!!

Good thing I saw it tonight too, as that's the last time in my lifetime to ever see it again. :D

7. Clear proof that global warming never happened.

Just like the ancient Mayans said.

8. I can't usually see the stars; but I did notice something near the moon.

So that's what it was. Bright enough to show up in the North Texas (near Dallas) sky!

[nyconnie]

16. it was fantastic

my wife bought a little 50x100 telescope for me at one of the black friday sales, nothing spectacular, but I used it to get a closer look. It was breathtaking. :thumbsup:

17. That's cool -- I wish I'd seen it

Happy to see the pics, though ...

21. Look right now

They are still visable tonight further southwest in the
Missouri sky. Reminds me of a Shannonism. Sure wish you all
could see the moon and planets here tonight in Missouri.

18. Here is an email I sent to my 2 daughters

My father died on November 28 - 10 years ago -- so I wanted to pass this down:

Girls
Last night -- and again tonight I think -- if you can see the moon right after sunset, you will see two stars with it in the sky. They aren't stars -- they are planets. The larger one nearest to the moon is Venus and the other is Jupiter. If you look through binoculars or a telescope you can maybe see one of the moons of Jupiter.

It is really an amazing sight. Mom and I saw it last night on the way to school and it was already out of sight by the time we got out of class and got home. Its worth taking a look. This configuration will not happen again in my lifetime. I wanted to share it with you . (i'm sorry I didn't get this sent earlier)

I saw it one other time. I was about 7 yrs. old. My father called us all out on to the front porch of 10 Maple Lane in Galveston to show it to us. It was really neat. I guess I was too young to understand what he meant, but he told us that this would not happen again in his lifetime and that this is something we could tell our kids about.

Its been 10 years now. I miss you Daddy.

So, there it is up in the sky, from my Dad to you. Enjoy.

Your Dad (a little teary eyed)

19. I thought it was really neat!

[GentryDixon]

20. From the southwest sky of Utah

it was an upside down smiley face. Still very cool.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

22. Saw it -- from a bus window, with my 7yo daughter.

I knew the brightest one HAD to be Venus, but I didn't know the other one was Jupiter. She actually made a wish to Jupiter! (Thinking it a star)
