At 5:02 this morning, Cayman time, the sun began its journey back to the tropic of Cancer after reaching its southernmost point on the Tropic of Capricorn. The first day of winter for the northern half of this planet. Below is something I knew, and something I didn’t know:
Also on the way back is my wife, who will arrive home from Costa Rica tomorrow, and begin two weeks quarantine in our apartment.
Not on the way back is me, who is on holiday until next year.
So have an easy winter, if you’re in the northern hemisphere, and enjoy the longer days coming.
Don’t forget the Saturn and Jupiter meet up tonight. 45 min after sunset if it’s the same for you as Missouri.
I’ve been watching for days, I guess last night was the closest?
It was a bust I think. From our perspective, they never did merge. You could see separation with binoculars. And once I saw the separation I could make it out with the naked eye.
