- Is there really an alignment of the planets & when?

Actually, when we say "alignment" in astronomy it doesn't literally mean the planets lined up in a straight line in their orbits. It simply means that these planets are visible in the same area in the sky (1/2)

Despite the cloudy night sky that didn't dampen our volunteer spirit to share #Astronomy during last nights #EarthHour2024.

Congratulations to our #MSAVolunteer & Thank you to De Jesus Oval Park, BGC Estate Association.

If you look up & see the #Moon tonight, that bright object next to it (upper right) is the planet #Saturn.
