GLPaccount2 User ID: 76708651 12/21/2020 11:29 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Could it be that in Israel (their) last night, they saw them much closer to each other? Quoting: GLPaccount2 Just curious/intrigued. I had to log out, but I didn't get an answer to this question. Did the geographic area around Israel, get to see the two planets closer together, than we saw in the US? THIS, is actually a question, that could subdue the "Flat Earther's" too. Or, entice them further. GLPaccount |

Midnight Oil User ID: 79322478 United States 12/21/2020 11:43 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Well my question is, did we miss it, or has it not happened yet? Because if that is the closest they get to each other, that's not really a big deal. Just my opinion. You're certainly entitled to your opinion, but in my opinion this was an incredibly magical moment. It is so rare to be able to see these two planets in the eyepiece at once like that. They were only 1/10th of a degree apart. That's how high magnification my telescope can be, 1/10th of a degree is the entire field of view. Still, I wanted to image them at the maximum magnification I can achieve, because this is the only time I've ever been able to do that and get both of them to fit. It's the only time that will ever happen in my lifetime. to me it's a bit sad that some people are desensitized to something that's rare and special, but my friends and family who were here watching with me all thought it was very special. We had a second smaller telescope set up to view it directly through the eyepiece. Everyone was wowed by the view. No, I get it Astro, that's cool. I was actually replying to the IMGR post, that looks like it was maybe taken with a phone. I'm just wondering why I kept hearing it called the Bethlehem Star, if even with the naked eye, you can see the distance. ^^^^This. I saw it clearly in Phoenix, AZ with naked eyes and it was clearly two separate objects. Not my idea of a star of bethlehem. What a snore and disappointment. No magical moment in that. ACTS 3:21 |

Reality420 User ID: 49477262 United States 12/22/2020 12:24 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I swear, I am NOT a troll. Quoting: GLPaccount2 Just answer the question. Did the Geographic region around Israel, from the ground, see Jupiter and Saturn 'closer' to each other, than what we saw in North America? No. Jupiter and Saturn are too far away from the Earth for there to be any appreciable parallax which would change their apparent separation. The Moon is about the only celestial object that your position on the Earth makes a difference, so if it were a Jupiter-Moon conjunction then yes the separation would be different in Israel than in Florida... but not this Jupiter-Saturn conjunction. hth.

Did the conjunction get CLOSER over the Israeli Region, than it did over the United States? IF IT DID NOT, then it proves FLAT EARTH. IF IT DID CHANGE, then post the PLEASE post the differences HERE, so we can disprove Flat Earth once and for all! GLPaccount |

A few days ago, it looked the sky would be clear for us, but they changed the forecast and it's been raining all day. I got to see it a few days ago for just a minute, but nothing as clear as the posted photos. This one is my all time favorite, I think! A near miss. GLPaccount |

President Elect oniongrass User ID: 79436619 United States 12/22/2020 01:32 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I swear, I am NOT a troll. Quoting: GLPaccount2 Just answer the question. Did the Geographic region around Israel, from the ground, see Jupiter and Saturn 'closer' to each other, than what we saw in North America? It's not a silly question -- one place will see them about 12 hours apart from the other, and so one will probably see the moment of absolutely closest conjunction and the other not. But it won't be visibly much different. Think of a sine wave. When it reaches a minimum, it's very close to flat, so going a little bit to the left or right (think of that as a little earlier or later) won't make much of a difference in the value of the sine function. . DON'T VAX, PROPHYLAX! ____________ There is no anger in Me: If one offers Me thorns and thistles, I will march to battle against him, And set all of them on fire. But if he holds fast to My refuge, He makes Me his friend; He makes Me his friend. (Isaiah 27:4-5) |
