great pic. i had a street light ruining mine
it has been pretty good viewing all week actually, Mars has been a little difficult the last few days.
I had the added bonus of watching the space station go right past them on Friday morning around 545, pulled off the road and waited for a few minutes, well worth it.
Great pic Learjet
It's the end of the world I tell you, the end!!!!!!!!!!
Oh shit....I'm a day late.

Does anyone know what the planetary alignment means or symbolizes?
I'm just hoping we have clear skies in the morning....its been cloudy every morning so far although tomorrow morning is looking good at this stage fingers crossed.

It's just an alignment. The inner planets rotate around the Sun faster than the outside planets. At some point they will all line up. It's like every planet has a slightly different gear ratio.
A simple analogy is the minute hand and hour hand of an analogue clock. The minute hand represents the inner planets moving rapidly around the face and the hour hand the outer planets. Once every hour and 5 minutes they cross or line up with each other.
I'm sure the astrology nuts are also having a field day casting horoscopes.
