  • shwaa, on 12/31/2008, -0/+6Description is slightly misleading. "Tue Dec 30, 11:47 am ETA" would make me think the Estimated Time of Arrival of this celestial event is on Tue Dec 30, 11:47 am, in the past. This is actually a copy-and-paste error, that's the time the article was published.
  • nimblethimble, on 12/31/2008, -0/+5Hell yeah, looks good from Germany :) !!! Happy New Year!
  • Shaggy3, on 12/31/2008, -2/+7Sounds like the end of the world to me.
  • doublefelix, on 12/31/2008, -0/+5I didn't even now this was going on but Venus was so bright next to a crescent moon last night it made me say 'what the *****' and look up an astronomical calendar to figure out what was up.
  • Flyman360, on 12/31/2008, -0/+4It's a “God of War” alignment. I’m looking at it right now. Venus is VERY bright.

    Not to scare anybody but it’s really NOT a happy new year for the Palestinians. Be extra vigilant tonight!!!
  • twiztidsinz, on 12/31/2008, -0/+4its so cool to use spell check
  • BossKey, on 12/31/2008, -0/+4The first sign is millions of Zunes suddenly crying out in terror, and then suddenly silenced.

  • gweedo767, on 12/31/2008, -0/+3Or you could have been watching Venus, Jupiter and the Moon in the sky...for say that past month or so? And with greater ease. In the Northern Hemisphere Jupiter is just now getting harder to spot post sunset since it dropping low in the sky on us.
