| Can't see it. After weeks of clear blue skies, the sky is currently filled with black thunder clouds.  _________________  |

| Ooh I wonder if that led to an occultation of Saturn by the Moon.
I saw Venus emerging from occultation by the Moon once, it was really impressive.

 It was a total fluke too, I had no idea it was going to happen. I done wrote about it on my blog https://shallowlikeus.blogspot.com/2008/12/when-i-got-home-tonight-about-5pm-i.html |

| More evidence of Planet X discovered.  - Quote :
- An extremely distant dwarf planet, named The Goblin, has been discovered in observations that are redefining the outer reaches of the solar system.
Astronomers made the discovery while hunting for a hypothetical massive planet, known as Planet Nine, that is suspected to be in orbit far beyond Pluto in a mysterious region known as the Oort Cloud. Planet Nine has not yet been seen directly, but The Goblin appears to be under the gravitational influence of a giant unseen object, adding to astronomers’ certainty that it is out there. https://www.theguardian.com/science/2018/oct/02/dwarf-planet-the-goblin-discovery-planet-nine-oort-cloud _________________ |

| Why are they calling it Planet 9? "Planet 9," isn't exciting! It's Planet X!  _________________ |

| Mars and the Moon are reasonably close together in the southern sky RIGHT NOW.
Mars is the bright yellowish 'star' at about 4 o'clock to the Moon, about, ooh, 12 Full Moon widths away or about 16 widths of the Moon as it currently looks away.
