    Unfortunately Earth is mostly below the horizon for this one. :(

      RemindMe: Earth rises above the Earth’s horizon, for easy viewing!

        I live in a valley so the Earth rises in the north and south

    We were playing a music trivia game and the question was “what planet did david bowie sing about life on?”

    And my buddy says “earth?” Lmao

    source
    • psud@aussie.zone ⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      The song is called life on Mars, but it’s all about Earthly things, so I reckon he was singing about Earth problems and only contrasting it to the highbrow idea of life on Mars

      • TachyonTele@lemm.ee ⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        I didn’t write the question. It’s a tribe game that came in a box.

    An extremely rare planetary alignment will take place on February 28, 2025. Don’t miss it — an event like this won’t happen again this decade!

    In the evening, just after sunset, seven planets — Saturn, Mercury, Neptune, Venus, Uranus, Jupiter, and Mars — will align in the sky. Four of them (Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, and Mars) will be easily visible to the naked eye. For Uranus and Neptune, get a pair of binoculars or a small telescope. Saturn will be the most difficult target to see — you’ll need to know the exact time for your exact location as the planet hangs close to the Sun.

      i hate when people use vague blocks of time to refer to something that we know with 100% certainty.

      “YOU WILL NOT BE AWAKE SOMEWHERE WITH THE PERIOD OF APPROXIMATELY 12 HOURS FROM NOW, DO NOT MISS YOUR CHANCE TO DO SOMETHING TODAY”

      are we talking like, once every decade, once every two decades, once a century? I gotta have a reference frame here.

      I’m not so sure about the binoculars part there… I have an 8" dobsonian telescope and I have a hard time finding those two.

    • psud@aussie.zone ⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      I saw Saturn from a suburban street a week or two ago just after sunset, near the moon and Venus, and it was visible, though my elderly mother in law couldn’t see it

      Nearly everything one observes year round is Earth. Even your clothes and the cloud of your warm breath when you are out observing the alignment in the cold is Earth.

    • Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de ⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      you’re talking about the order from the sun, but that’s not necessarily how it has to appear in our sky. It’s like how the stars in orion’s belt are actually stupidly far from each other, and from their perspective they have absolutely nothing to do with each other.

    I lead stargazing classes with my city parks, and I can tell you that it’s pretty much impossible to find earth in the night sky.

    source
    • Dragonstaff@leminal.space ⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      I don’t know where you’re searching, but the earth is usually pretty visible at the horizon.

      source

        Idk, bro, I’ve never seen Earth above the horizon.

    Years ago, I think I remember seeing a screenshot- could have been from Quora, where someone was asking why we haven’t sent astronauts to the sun.

    Aren’t they always on the plane of the elliptic though?

    source
    • SippyCup@feddit.nl ⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Yeah but you can’t always see them all together.

      source
      • NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone ⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        How is that an alignment though? It’s not like MacGuyver or Lara Croft is going to have to stop some baddies from assembling ancient artefacts in a particular room to unleash arcane terrors into the world just because the planets are sort-of visible together in the sky.

        What is the reason, is it because sometimes some of them are on the other side from the sun?
