An extremely rare planetary alignment will take place on February 28, 2025. Don't miss it — an event like this won’t happen again this decade!

In the evening, just after sunset, seven planets — Saturn, Mercury, Neptune, Venus, Uranus, Jupiter, and Mars — will align in the sky. Four of them (Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, and Mars) will be easily visible to the naked eye. For Uranus and Neptune, get a pair of binoculars or a small telescope. Saturn will be the most difficult target to see — you'll need to know the exact time for your exact location as the planet hangs close to the Sun.

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

It applies to most songs lol

[–] [email protected] 8 points 6 days ago (3 children)

You could argue it applies to all songs in some sense (at least, the ones we've heard).

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 days ago

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.

Unfortunately Earth is mostly below the horizon for this one. :(

It's right there along the bottom.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 days ago

I was gonna say.

Nearly everything one observes year round is Earth. Even your clothes and the cloud of your warm breath when you are out observing the alignment in the cold is Earth.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago

Earth is Rudolf after Santa and the elves discovered headlights. Irrelevant.
