The camp fire
The same show
Through centuries
Twinkle little star
I WONDER WHAT YOU ARE?
too brilliant to ignore, by far

The Venus and Jupiter Parade
• Venus and Jupiter very eye-catching when both are “near” the Moon (20th June)
• Many photos, many locations, many thanks! this trio looks the same from each, but latitude causes different orientations.
• Jupiter harder to see (and photograph); it is about 10X further than Venus. In most slides, it was visible, on the 22 inch LG monitor while editing.
• The Venus-Jupiter line is part of “The Ecliptic”
DubaiThe dots are Venus (lower) and Jupiter. Here, nothing else is bright enough to
push its light through the haze

Internet for Longitude
• for LONGITUDE differences– (not so easy but not impossible!)
– The Moon speed• Moon is fast (1km per sec)
which means 13° in 24 hours
– Note hours between photos
– Get a simple telescope • Measure angle change
between the two locations

Venus
The line-up at left is an edge-on view of the circles below; THE SUN is below the EARTH horizon; move away from Horizon to VENUS then JUPITER
MARCH 20 to June 20Orbiting – Angle of sweep is 90° for EarthAbout 150° for Venus (the closest planet to Sun is fastest) About 10° for Jupiter; (distance shown to sun is about 1/5 actual)
• From Earth’s June position, Venus and Jupiter are now in line.
• Within 2 months, Venus and Jupiter (from Earth) will be in line with the sun
– Venus in front of sun– Jupiter behind
JUNE 20 (three months later)
Twinkle, way up there, afarEven if you’re not a star. . .
Stars don’t move, so maybe, can itBe that you’re a tiny planet?

Next post will be what the Education business could be doing better , using the sky as a resource.
