Jupiter will be at opposition on May 9th
You will be able to see this alignment with your own eyes tomorrow at sunset.

After you watch the sunset, turn your back to where you just saw the sunset.

You should see a bright 'star' rising on the eastern horizon, opposite of where the sun set.

This 'star' is actually the planet Jupiter reflecting the light of the sun back at you.

Looking at Jupiter with a good pair of binoculars allows you to see the 4 Galilean moons as bright dots lined up with Jupiter.

Oh hey, I forgot to mention that this event occurs just once every thirteen months.

Hopefully there will be some good pictures available by late tomorrow night.

If I find any online, I'll be sure to post here. :)

About 15 hours from now.

I did a search here first and noticed this was one of those few celestial events that usually goes unnoticed.

Just thought I would share in case it turns out to be a special night for someone.

And the world has never been more in opposition to itself and to the Universe. Isn't Jupiter Zeus - the King of Kings - in Greek mythology?

Dear Cosmos,

Surely, it's somebody elses turn to carry the heavy load?

First you put the bottle in my hand to numb the pain of living down here all alone then you take the bottle from my hand to amplify the pain of living down here all alone.

I need a vacation, man, somewhere they can't find me.

Is that too much to ask?

I dont want to be here when they arrive again, not this time. It will do them the world of good for them to arrive and for me to be gone - to temporarily take myself out of their lives. It will give them a chance to experience life without me - I feel like they're using me and I'm not getting anything in return so it's pointless for both of us.

They are destructive...

They've become so boastful and arrogant it sickens me. They say they love me but I'm just not feeling it. My fridge is empty and theirs is full - everything they do they say they're doing it for me yet they don't share...they're making me look like a dick...and they're suggesting I'm the weak one and that I need them more than they need me which is a lie...I'll show them who the weak one really is...I'm here busting my ass while they party like it's 1999. WTF?

Please, Boss, don't leave me hanging. Unhook me. I'll kill several birds with one stone - it's the smart thing to do.

Haven't I done what you asked of me? Do you want me to beg is that it?

I need time to heal up to get the show on the road.

I need some new clothes. I'm not setting a good example but I want to.

Then I'll come back refreshed.

Let me take those who are ready now, like I am, and I'll return for the rest later when they're ready. I'll take the most needy now.

I'll do two trips.

Let me take her with me. They don't deserve her. And she can't be happy if I'm not happy - it's just an act. We've been seperated for so long it feels like an eternity.

I'll come back a happily married man with a new zest for life and then then thy will will be done.

Aren't relationships supposed to be reciprocal? I'm doing all the giving and listening!

Beam me the fuck up!

Regards,

Son of Cosmos.

EOT.
