Planetary alignments (APOD 10 Mar 2008)
Posted: Mon Mar 10, 2008 11:06 am
Today's APoD - http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap080310.html - got me wondering: when will we have another alignment like the one linked to in the description, with the words planetary - http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap020510.html, and conjunctions - http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap020429.html..?
My guess is that since that one just occured recently (six years ago), we won't see one like it again for a while, given the orbits of some of the planets. (Which is sad - for me - since my interest in astronomy began the following year..... )
Anyway, anyone know when this may happen again, or care to point me in the direction of where I could find this info? Thanks in advance.
