I missed the Jupiter / Saturn thing...

[goldengirl]

I thought it was around 7:30 PM but it turn out its more like 6:00.

Ooops.

Did anyone else see this crap?

it's nothing spectacular, just a bright star low in southwest at twilight, not as good as Venus, next occultation will be in year 7528

You can watch it on YouTube. It's actually very interesting.

I've seen Jupiter and Saturn many times from my window.

Saturn is a small orange looking dot, while Jupiter looks like a bright star.

Saturn is farther then Jupiter, so if they meet Saturn would be completely hidden and Jupiter would look about the same.

Pretty boring, I guess.

Overcast here, nothing to see, move along.

They don't completely hide each other so it looks like a new star.

I have Google Sky Map and when I see a bright planet as I get out of the car, I turn it on, point at the planet and see what is there. I did notice both in the same area but did not realize it was merging.

Just checked and at the moment Jupiter is on top of Saturn. Looks like it's below the horizon now if my GPS is accurate.

 

[jerimander]

Me too.

You will have to wait for the next one.

You've seen it now.

Maybe the three wise men have seen it too ???

( In case your confused, or dumb ... which is more likely in your case, Saturn is the ringed planet in the lower right )

There was nothing to see here due to the clouds so no use getting my scope out but I expected with all the hopplah they'd be closer than that.

 

[Twister]

I can't see non of this stuff when it happens, I think you have to go up north.

 

[escortsxxx]

I wanted to see it but too cloudy to see anything. Bad weather. Up North tends to clear skies more often as no smog /Lake Ontario so ya North would increse you chances. The Christmas star/Star of Jesus would have nice to see.
