Granny's gone and done it again

Some spacey news... on Mon the 21st, Jupiter and Saturn will be next to each other in the night sky. (They actually are not close, but will be almost aligned in our view from earth.) This is the closest they have been for 800 years! It is a once in a lifetime event.
We wouldn't have known about this except my #1son noticed what he thought were planets in the sky as he was leaving work.

This was what we saw down the street from home. Moon on left. Two bright dots on right are Saturn (upper) and Jupiter, the larger one.

Through the telescope, you could see the rings on Saturn, but they don't show up in the pictures. You can see their shape. And you can see 4 moons of Jupiter, all in a line.

So if you have clear skies, look to the west, low on the horizon. We will try to get more pictures on Monday!
Yes, my meditation teacher was telling us about it
