Tonight: 9/26/22 "Jupiter, the largest planet in our solar system, is reaching opposition, an event that occurs when a celestial object rises in the east as the sun sets in the west, putting both the sun and the object on opposite sides of Earth.

But what also makes this special is that the planet will be the closest it has been to Earth in 59 years, meaning it will also be brighter than usual."

Oh cool! Thanks for letting us know!

[Lemon Cheesecake]

I checked it out with my binoculars and I can see Jupiter & its moons!

[npixelz]

I bet you're over the moon about that!

Here's a cool article with photo's on the moon's surface and orbit. Check out the video clip of the moon's wobbling orbit.

Neverrrrrr!

Thanks, Lemon! What's really cool is how that animation of the phases of the moon show it getting larger and smaller (the moon's orbit is elliptical, so it's distance to us varies and it appears larger when it's closer and smaller when it's further away). The wobbling bit makes sense too since the moon doesn't rotate so it doesn't have stability like a gyro. Seems kind-a precarious in a way...

[npixelz]

It's a precarious situation
A nefarious manipulation
A dark scheme of epic proportions
People scream at the notions
He's an evil mastermind
Within him you'll never find
Any joy left behind
On innocence he has dined
For he's the devil in disguise
Evil's on the rise
As you fall for his lies
You hear not your loved one's cries
He's taken hold of your thoughts
In his web you are caught
Even as you struggled and fought
Your freedom was bought
The man on the moon is dark
Twisted and bloodthirsty like a shark
On this quest he embarks
To leave the Earth cold, barren and stark

How do you think up these things??? You should write lyrics for songs npixelz.

Just as a thought (thinking about your line of the Earth becoming cold barren & stark) ... if the moon & mars once had lakes & that water went into space... where in space did that water go?

[npixelz]

Idek, also I need to work on syllable structure first before writing lyrics

Good question, maybe science has the answer
