Feeling the Squeeze

Newsflash: “I thought a Jupiter transit was supposed to be good!” has been reportedly heard repeating across the heavens.  Like the Chinese parable of a farmer whose mare runs off during planting season (bad luck), later returns with two stallions (good luck), the son is bucked by the new stallion and breaks his leg (bad […]

These two will be so close, according to NASA, that they may look like one superstar. It only happens once every 2000 years or so.
