Unfortunately Earth is mostly below the horizon for this one. :(
RemindMe: Earth rises above the Earth’s horizon, for easy viewing!
I live in a valley so the Earth rises in the north and south
Total vibe right here
And now over to Bobo for today’s weather: … ACK, ACK, WAAAAA, ACK, ACK, AAAAAAA!!! … (feces thrown at camera) … ACK, AAAAHHHHH, AAAAAAAHHHHH!!!
And 30% of the time, Bobo nails it.
I didn’t know anyone named Bobo works at Fox News.
Lauren Bobo.
The vaping groping clown.
I lead stargazing classes with my city parks, and I can tell you that it’s pretty much impossible to find earth in the night sky.
I don’t know where you’re searching, but the earth is usually pretty visible at the horizon.
Idk, bro, I’ve never seen Earth at the horizon, it’s mostly just trees and houses and stuff. Do you have to be in dark skies?
We were playing a music trivia game and the question was “what planet did david bowie sing about life on?”
And my buddy says “earth?” Lmao
He’s not wrong.
It applies to most songs lol
You could argue it applies to all songs in some sense (at least, the ones we’ve heard).
Nah. The song in the triva question was Mars, for example. There’s plenty of songs about things other than earth, and other than life.
I know what you’re saying though.
The song is called life on Mars, but it’s all about Earthly things, so I reckon he was singing about Earth problems and only contrasting it to the highbrow idea of life on Mars
Looking at the lyrics again it seems to mostly be about a film, or films in general
I didn’t write the question. It’s a trivia game that came in a box.
Thanks for reminding me that this website exists
He commented that right after texting his gf asking her to call his phone because he can’t find it
I can text people via sms through my cell service provider’s web portal even if my phone is off.
The wondrous times we live in.
Wait a minute, that’s not the order I’ve learned. Have we been lied to about MVEMJSUNP?
Well, the P is silent.
you’re talking about the order from the sun, but that’s not necessarily how it has to appear in our sky. It’s like how the stars in orion’s belt are actually stupidly far from each other, and from their perspective they have absolutely nothing to do with each other.
I never see Earth in the sky.
You ain’t been high enough.
Me neither. Don’t you find that suspicious?? What else are they hiding from us!? Do they think we’re stupid???
You can see both it and the moon from Mars. So that’s fun
Stand on your head?
Or live lower
It’s right here dude.
Sweet syzygy, dude.
Aren’t they always on the plane of the elliptic though?
Yeah but you can’t always see them all together.
How is that an alignment though? It’s not like MacGuyver or Lara Croft is going to have to stop some baddies from assembling ancient artefacts in a particular room to unleash arcane terrors into the world just because the planets are sort-of visible together in the sky.
It’s an alignment because if you look up at it they’re in a line. That’s what alignment means, Lara Croft and ancient artifacts are optional.
The cool alignment is when they’re in alignment all pointed straight at the earth, so you can’t really see them all spaced out like this one.
It’s a known fiction plot because while the planets do come somewhat close to lining up somewhat often (depending on how loose you want to define somewhat close, and if they also have to be all on one side of the sun), they never actually do. The planets have never actually all lined up perfectly and aren’t likely to do so any time in the next 13 trillion years. A moot point since our sun will be burned out a thousand times over by then and the whole system will have fallen apart.
But only in the same sense that they always are! You just can’t see it because of your mortal limitations.
What is the reason, is it because sometimes some of them are on the other side from the sun?
They’re in orbits at different distances from the sun and so take different times to complete an orbit. Also we’re closer to the sun than most, so circling faster, and further than Venus and Mercury so circling slower, so sometimes some planets appear to be going the wrong way along the ecliptic
Some planets are in resonance with others (for example orbiting 3 times for the other’s 4)
So sometimes other planets are on the other side of the sun, sometimes they’re on this side of the sun but the opposite side of the sky
ecliptic, yes they are
Where’s earth
Yeah they’re out of order too

Actually, you can tell they are NOT because they called it earth. We’ve renamed it to “Earth of America”
