"The next time the three will be as close and visible as this week will be Nov. 18, 2052, according to Jack Horkheimer, director of the Miami Space Transit Planetarium."

I'll be dead that night

We had a clear view in central Mass. Very nice. When I was a kid I used to marvel at this stuff. Where did that joy go?

Yup, it cleared up here, I just took the family out to see it. Step kid didn't really care too much, but my wife thought it was cool.

Nice one fender, had the pod setup and everything, just to watch the cold front and all her nice clouds move in about an hour before sunset :down:
