Tonight will be the night when Mercury, Venus, Mars and jupiter align. It should happen half an hour before sunrise in the eastern part of the sky. Also, on may 13, Mercury, Venus, and Jupiter for a triangle in the sky. This isnt for any doom n gloom shit. Astronomy is awesome.

Let the world end... that would also be an awesome astronomical event to witness.
I don't get what the fear is in dying. If I could pick my death, that would be it!

Isn't all you'd see is venus 180 degrees apart from mars and nothing else? Unless you can see Jupiter behind mars..

Im pretty sure you can see all of em. Here is the link to the website that explains it. Says the best morning will be May11. If you watch the video on the page, it should show you what you should expect to see

Dont worry, the gloom and doom one will come in time But for now, enjoy the beauty of space

I dont believe so. Maybe some binoculars if you want to try to see the planets closer without a telescope.Quote:

I would have to agree. If theres one way I want to go out, its witnessing the destruction of the earth(while on shrooms) Having a psychedlic death would be the most beautiful way to go out(and would make the transition to death really peaceful.)
If I can snap some pics tonight Im definately going to

Thankyou so much for that link Divinity  The video is amazing, total proof that everyone at NASA takes their smoke brakes together  now to make some tea to keep me awake until dawn! I am packing my bag full of rugs and jumpers to go smoke up and admire the view from the obelisk in Newcastle in a couple of hours Happy planetary viewing everybody!!

Well that was breath taking to say the least! The planets are HUGE and in alignment in the East for most of the night and well into the sunrise I highly recommend everyone braving the cold at least once this week to see it I can't wait for the 30th when the moon is in alignment too 
The view from the obelisk in newy was pure awe-inspiring followed by a heart warming sunrise mmmhhhmm.. I think tonight/tomorrow sunrise I am going to go down to the pier near the Nobbies light house undisturbed view all the way to the east horizon and well away from traffic noise definitely taking about 20 blankets tho! It's bloody freezing at the moment!
Does anyone have a telescope by any chance? even better, one with a camera mount to take some nice long exposure pictures
