Rare Dance of the planets
(Watchers keep watching!!)
This headline appeared, not on a prophecy website, but in our local newspaper(Canberra Times) on Tuesday 14 November 2017. The signs in the sky are still signalling the Soon Return of Jesus Christ! The link to the article is below, but I have also included an excerpt below. Although the astronomical sign has passed, this sign may herald what is soon to come and also links to the Revelation 12 sign.
At its peak on Friday 17 November 2017, the dance includes Venus (the Bride), Jupiter (the Messiah), the crescent Moon (Rachel.. Israel), Mars (possibly a sign of War) and the Sun (Jacob). This is from an Australian perspective, so I am not sure how it works in other parts of the world. More interesting signs.
Early morning alignment will see Venus and Jupiter
in a 'dance of the planets'
Early every morning this week, glimmering Venus and Jupiter will slide up from below the eastern horizon. In a rare celestial event, the two brightest planets in our solar system will appear so close together that it will look as if they are almost touching.
On Friday they'll be joined by the faintest sliver of a crescent moon. And Mars will be coming to the party too, keeping close to its fellow planets in the morning sky and putting four celestial orbs in one place at the same time.
But the main event and the thing that has our local astronomy community particularly excited is the Jupiter-Venus conjunction – or, more poetically, the "dance of the planets".
But it won't last long. Beginning about 5.15am (5.45 in Melbourne) there will be a brief window to see the dance, says David Reneke, editor of Astro-Space News.
On Friday at 5.42 the Sun will break through the horizon (5.58 in Melbourne), its brightness almost immediately obscuring the planets. Each subsequent night the planets' orbits will carry them across the sky, further and further away from each other.
Conjunctions happen when the orbits of Earth and other planets converge in such a way that it appears as if they're lining up, despite being separated by billions of kilometres.
What makes this year's conjunction special is how close the two planets will come in our sky; there is likely to be only one repeat performance in the next hundred years.
