@Blendz more from that month

Celestial Parade I slept last night at around 11:30 pm and so I should wake up at around 6:30 am this morning to have atleast 7 hours of sleep. I'm feeling weak when I wake up late but this morning, I did not expect to wake up at 4:30 am. I was mad at first, but maybe God wanted me to witness the celestial parade of four planets! And the best part, I saw this with my naked eyes and far better than my phone camera's eyes. 7 puppies were making noise early in the morning. Maybe because they're hungry already or because their mom was hungry also and so she escaped from the milk suckers. I immediately prepared powdered milk for them but before I reached their house, I noticed some brightest lights that lining up in the sky. I have read about this configuration of celestial bodies to be visible before sunrise in the last weeks of this month but I did not pay attention since I'm not waking up so early, haha. "Planetary alignment known as syzygy, is a roughly a straight-line configuration of three or more celestial bodies in a gravitational system and a conjunction is an astronomical phenomenon that occurs whenever two planetary bodies are close to each other in the night sky, as seen from Earth." The moon was already blocked by tall trees when I took a photo of the four of our closest neighbors in the solar system - Jupiter, Venus, Mars, and Saturn. After a few seconds, Venus was covered with light gray clouds and when I checked the photo, Saturn was missing. Maybe it was also covered with clouds while I'm adjusting my camera settings. The position of the planets was actually in slanting position (see Dost_pagasa photo), from southeast going up to northeast, it's just that they won't fit to my screen if the phone was in vertical position. I can't move forward or backward to adjust my distance for the rooftop and tall trees will block my view. And now, I'm sooo sleepy while typing this. How are you today, Earthlings? Maybe you still have the chance to witness this rare celestial event that happens once in 1,000 years! A Blessed Friday! Credit: Dost_pagasa
