The “Great Conjunction” On December 21st 2020: People Are Saying There’s Going To Be An “Event”
- The Facts:On December 21st of this year, the winter solstice, Jupiter and Saturn are going to be an astonishing 0.1 degrees apart — less than the diameter of a full moon. March 4, 1226, was the last time they were in such close proximity.
What’s Going To Happen: On December 21st of this year, the winter solstice, Jupiter and Saturn coincidently will appear to almost merge in our night sky, appearing almost as one giant star to the visible eye. They are usually separated by 400 million miles.
“Alignments between these two planets are rather rare, occurring once every 20 years or so, but this conjunction is exceptionally rare because of how close the planets will appear to one another,” Rice University astronomer Patrick Hartigan said in a statement. “You’d have to go all the way back to just before dawn on March 4, 1226, to see a closer alignment between these objects visible in the night sky.”

Boris Johnson in his opening speech to the virtual conference on global warming said in part,
"we must remove the toxic tea cozy of greenhouse gases from the planet".
Meanwhile in Switzerland global warming can have strange environmental effects.

Do you know why Rome wasn't built in a day/
Because cement trucks hadn't been invented yet!

T'was 2 weeks before Christmas,
And all through the town,
People wore masks,
That covered their frown.
The frown had begun
Way back in the Spring,
When a global pandemic
Changed everything.
They called it corona,
But unlike the beer,
It didn’t bring good times,
It didn’t bring cheer.
Airplanes were grounded,
Travel was banned.
Borders were closed
Across air, sea and land.
As the world entered lockdown
To flatten the curve,
The economy halted,
And folks lost their nerve.
From March to July
We rode the first wave,
People stayed home,
They tried to behave.
When summer emerged
The lockdown was lifted.
But away from caution,
Many folks drifted.
Now it’s December
And cases are spiking,
Wave two has arrived,
Much to our disliking.
It’s true that this year
Has had sadness a plenty,
We’ll never forget
The year 2020.
And just ‘round the corner -
The holiday season,
But why be merry?
Is there even one reason?
To decorate the house
And put up the tree,
Who will see it,
No one but me.
But outside my window
The snow gently falls,
And I think to myself,
Let’s deck the halls!
So, I gather the ribbon,
The garland and bows,
As I play those old carols,
My happiness grows.
Christmas is not cancelled
And neither is hope.
If we lean on each other,
I know we can cope
Keep it going!
Merry Christmas friends!!!!NASCAR SEASON is complete for 2021.

Happy Monday Q sters,
It's a start of another new week. This week will start of colder, with temps in the negative & maybe some white stuff on Wednesday. York region joins TO & Peel in the grey zone. Some how I don't think TO or Peel is going to come out of the grey zone by the end of the week. Vaccines are being distributed to the front line workers this week. Hopefully this will help. I know it will be a while before the majority of the country will get the vaccine, maybe spring time.
Have a great Monday & stay safe.NASCAR SEASON is complete for 2021.

Good morning fellow Canucks!
What a crappy weekend for weather we had. We missed out on the meteor shower last night because of our overcast skies. Next Monday will be that Grand Conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn. Hopefully we will have clear skies for that. Otherwise we will have to wait until 2080 for the next one.
Have a great work week ahead folks.

@kenrod you can see the stars in the night sky each evening around 5:30pm to the Southwest. They get bigger and brighter as the week goes on
