In eighteen years, precisely, the planets will align ever so nicely...

Yeah so on Friday morning Dad and I woke up at 4:45 a.m. and cruised down to Coogee Beach to see this:


Those three dots at the top of the picture are planets - Jupiter, Venus and Mercury, to be precise. Down below in the middle of the photo is Mars. They're all rather pretty, aren't they? In 29 years time Saturn will catch up with them, and all five planets visible to the naked eye will be together :) God is pretty amazing, building all that stuff up there. I'm glad we get to see so much of it. It was totally worth nearly freezing to death at the beach to see this.
