Can't wait. Do you know when is the best time to watch?

The planets are aligned. Surely there's something rare I need to accomplish tonight.

Hit up a toy store, you are likely to find the perfect lady.

I'm married bro. Check out my Instagram

with a name like "Ken_from_Barbie", I would have expected you to get the joke.

edit: it seems I was the one who didn't get the joke. (I don't tend to click on profiles for research)

Funny how an astronomical phenomenon is going to be discussed more by the astrologists

Rain coming through central california tonight. Won't see it. :-(

Yep...damn

Keep in mind, Ken is a blonde toy originally from '61. During those days up till about the mid 90's the stereotype of being blonde meant that he might be a little bit daft. Of course now that we are in the modern era, this would be inappropriate, so lets chalk it up to him being a boomer with no humor.

I think everybody in this comment section deserves a whoosh except for Ken

It won't be that different the rest of the week. definitely not a "one night only" event.

Soon after sunset to catch Jupiter and Mercury near the horizon. If you don't have a really clear western horizon, I wouldn't worry about it too much and enjoy Mars and Venus higher in the sky.

The fifth planet is Uranus and you're not going to see it without a good telescope or binoculars.

Thank you. I will be searching and looking.

I'm pretty sure Lara Croft said something about this.. she is probably going to have a busy week.

Ditto up here in the bay 😭 I was really looking forward to this

I guess it depends on how much data they’re collecting for orbital mechanics and satellite telemetry vs what does this mean for my horoscope omg, odds are it’s all still less data than the total amount of cat photos online

A conjunction of the spheres, if you will. Also called a greater syzygy.

Me too but I swear my Gf is the best!

I've watched enough genre movies to know someone is opening a portal to elder god, the devil, rasputin, or something like that this week.

My college roommate told me when this happens that his god is pregnant and the teleporter is active from Earth to his homeplanet in the Pleiades constellation. I now hope it doesnt send people just all our cat pics

Will this have any affect on gravity or cause an earthquake?

And we have complete cloud cover as is the case during any astronomical event.

It’s been cloudy though…I wish I had a telescope that could see through clouds

[removed]

It's fine, I'm not interested in seeing Uranus. Ever. Especially not with a telescope or binoculars.

Like Hades opening the Gates for the titans type of event.

It's the only way to see all of the dark details though.

They're all too far away to have any significant effect on the Earth.

Only the Moon (because it's close) and the Sun (very big) do: they cause tides.

And this event is just that they all appear in the sky, but didn't mean that they're closer than at other times.

Don't threaten me with a good time...

And Torus is in the second hemisphere of an Aquarius circle Sagittarius… thing.

I’m in Seattle. We’re not into Astrology much up here for obvious reasons.

Tf I just had a dream about this. Not exactly five planets though, more like all of them.

It's a week long, just "optimal" tonight.

I just thought them in a line would have more affect than if they were scattered. Not a lot of affect but enough to disturb something. Obviously not though

Was fixing an old rusty wheel barrow tonight and every time I reached for an allen key or socket I had the right one on first try. So I thought the stars were aligned for me tonight. But then I realized…

That's spectacular! I don't have telescopes yet and would love to buy one when I'm older. I'd be psyched if anybody uploaded the pictures here.
