Dec 23 2007

A very remarkable planetary/galactic configuration occurs on December 23rd and 24th 2007. The configuration on December 23 — Mars, Earth, Sun, Mercury, Jupiter, Galactic Centre — is shown in the graphic simulation linked below; it becomes even more remarkable in that it will be accompanied by the Full Moon (conjunct Mars) at about 2 a.m. on December 24 when a simultaneous Venus square Neptune occurs. It is even more remarkable in that the Pluto/Sun conjunction appears exactly on the Winter Solstice, just past conjunction with the Galactic Centre.

Link below is the view from Mars toward the Jupiter, Mars, Earth, Mercury, Pluto alignment toward the Galactic Centre on 23 December 2007 which occurs just after the Pluto/Jupiter (Heliocentric) conjunction on 23 November 2007.

it's pouring rain here, so if I look up I may drown like a turkey in a thunderstorm!

Why is it so remarkable? Cause a lot of them are lined up? Can you observe this from Earth?

Cool! It's supposed to rain here too.

I wish I could see it... but it's raining like cats and dogs. We also have tremendous wind, so maybe it'll clear soon. I'll check it out though, thanks!
