Cold and Spellbinding: An Alignment of Planets in the Sunset Sky Feb. 17, 2012: Note to sky watchers: Put on your winter coats. What you’re about to read might make you feel an uncontrollable urge to dash outside. The brightest planets in the solar system are lining up in the evening sky, and you can see the formation—some of it at least—tonight. Go out at sunset and look west. Venus and Jupiter pop out of the twilight even before the sky fades completely black. The two brilliant planets surrounded by evening blue is a beautiful sight. snip By the end of the month, the angle narrows to only 10 degrees—so close that you can hide them together behind your outstretched palm. Their combined beauty grows each night as the distance between them shrinks. A special night to look is Saturday, Feb. 25th, when the crescent Moon moves in to form a slender heavenly triangle with Venus, Jupiter and the Moon as vertices (sky map). One night later, on Sunday, Feb. 26th, it happens again (sky map). This arrangement will be visible all around the world, from city and countryside alike. The Moon, Venus and Jupiter are the brightest objects in the night sky; together they can shine through urban lights, fog, and even some clouds. con. http://science.nasa.gov/science-news/sc ... erplanets/ |

Hmmm... wonder if this is related to prior article... Venus rotation shortened for 6,5 minutes. What’s causing the planet to slow down? Scientists studied surface features and discovered that some were displaced by up to 20 km from where they should be given the accepted rotation rate as measured by NASA’s Magellan orbiter in the early 1990s. What could cause the planet to slow down? One possibility may be the raging weather on Venus. Earth experiences a similar effect, where it is largely caused by wind and tides. The length of an Earth day can change by roughly a millisecond and depends seasonally with wind patterns and temperatures over the course of a year. But a change of 6.5 minutes over a little more than a decade is a huge variation. con. http://thewatchers.adorraeli.com/2012/0 ... slow-down/ |

I don't think so Ruts. Patric Geryl writes about this Venus phenomena and the fact that is it a passage that marks a sign of the ages when a Shift happens in the Solar system. I will try find it and quote... |
