GREAT CONJUNCTION FROM LUNAR RECONNAISSANCE ORBITER

Space.com

A moon-orbiting probe got a stunning up-close view of the "great conjunction" of Jupiter and Saturn from Earth's rocky satellite.

Monday (Dec. 21), Jupiter and Saturn appeared closer in the night sky than they had in about 800 years during what's known as a "great conjunction." People all around the globe watched and photographed the planets, which looked almost like a single, bright "star" in the sky. However, us Earthlings weren't the only ones who got a celestial show.

NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO), which launched in 2009 and has enough fuel to keep orbiting the moon for another six years, spotted the cosmic event all the way from the moon.

Hey Juan, thank you so much for another year of keeping us informed of local politics, events and important issues in our community. Many of us appreciate all the time, effort, and hard work you contribute to let us know what's going on behind closed doors. Your knowledge of local and Mexican history is also very informative and enjoyable to read. Please keep up the good work and don't pay attention to the retard mutt, idiota, pendejo, embecil, meskin hillilly, LOL, hahaha and other bloggers who live to thrash your comments.

Who cares about Space right now? Let's concentrate on this Earth for now, for it seems everything is going capute. Will Jan 20 bring us some change for the better. Will we all come back to our senses and use our common sense to make things better, or will we remain the same selfish individuals we have been for so long. It is time for us to explore earth and those humans who are suppose to be so smart. If we can send a man to the moon, where are we when it comes to taking care of earthly needs and wants? To heck with space or go fly a kite.
