~ Moonlight Shadows – November Squares #12 ~

I’m in the UK for a quick visit back to see my mum and other family. Last night we sat on the deck under heaters and blankets and watched fireworks and an almost full moon.

“Oh Little Star of Bethlehem” 🌟

On December 21st 2020 Jupiter and Saturn aligned to show a once in a lifetime experience. This hasn’t happened for over 800 years and won’t again for another 400.

I managed to take a shot last night, but I think to experience this properly a telescope would have been needed!

As noted by Johannes Kepler in the 17th century, a similar conjunction occurred in 7 BCE and could be the astronomical origin of the Star of Bethlehem that guided the wise men. Source: The Conversation

Did anyone else get to see this wonderful phenomenon?

Night for One Word Sunday

Hong Kong at Night

From a few years back in Hong Kong. Taken from the window of our hotel in North Point. An unusually empty freeway.
