If I remember, will do. Thanks for the tip. But I won't be waking up at dawn, I'll be falling asleep at dawn!

Use the program called Stellarium . Put your coordonates in and see when and where you can see this ! It's an awsome program !

I was sleeping when that happened.

True!

This is an invitation to see an artist theory on the physics of light and time! Based on just one equation (E= ˠ M˳C²)∞ the Lorentz contraction of space and time is between the energy and mass. The greater the energy the greater the contraction of space and the slower time will run. Mass will increase relative to this and each ref-frame can be seen as a vortex in space formed by the rate that time flows. The brackets represent the boundary condition of the ref-frame within infinity!

UTTHISTA- WAKE-UP. Space Cosmology Vedas interlinks- looks at onset of phenomena from 100 AU to 240 LY. Sandhya vidye Saraswati- Jyothisham- Param Jyotih.. The invisible drives the Visible Earth planet in layman's language.

Moron, there's forums for your superstitious fuckwittery.

Nob off back to your cave where science is a dirty word.

Go and tell everyone about how the Illuminati are going to blow up the Olympics.. oh, wait it didn't..

Shove a telescope up your arse to get a really good look at Nibiru.

Next time you feel like commenting on something headbutt the wall 20 times as hard as you can.

Your beliefs are like religion.. no sodding evidence.

Saw both Venus and Jupiter clearly every morning before sunrise many times due to waking before dawn; sadly, however, overcast skies blocked the view most mornings during the past few weeks. Same again this morning ...same for the recent FULL MOON in Aquarius, as well.

Yes, magical is the perfect word to describe it. I woke my wife up and asked her if she wanted to see it, right before dawn. She was bitching about "how this had better be worth it...." and she stepped outside and looked up, mesmerized and frozen in mid-bitch! We had a perfect crescent moon with earth-shine aligned with the planets and bright star in a large diamond shape, glistening against a dark blue sky. Yep, magic is the word. She said it was the best celestial event she has seen.
