It all looks very complicated for something that's just a glider.

Objects seen in orbit - Before Sputnik.
150,000 stars have disappeared since the 1950s.

Cool isn't it. And that wondrousness was hidden from us for so long before whatever probe it was went into a polar orbit.

I knew I had done it before! I promise it's a new one. That's about the best I can do. When I give up work (soon) I will get myself a proper astro camera..

I don't like to rain on the parade, but you won't see Neptune without a telescope and you'll need binoculars to see Uranus unless you live way out in the countryside and know exactly where to look.
The other 4 will be naked eye objects but Mercury is very close to the Sun, it will barely be 5 degrees above the horizon at dawn. So you'll need a good flat eastern horizon.
Mars, Saturn and Jupiter will still look pretty good so I'll have a look out if I'm up at 5am.

Is this when Damien out of The Omen, Damien: The Omen II and The Final Conflict comes back and all his followers meet in a seaside cove at night?
