I was at Point Judith one night a few years ago and I walked past these people in the parking lot who looked like they were all just waiting there for something to happen. I walked past again a little while later and one of them was saying " alright here it comes" and straight ahead the full moon rose up over the pitch black ocean all huge and brilliant orange. I stopped and watched with them. It was really an awsome sight and it was so cool because it was like the guy had scheduled the moon to rise just for his friends, right on time and straight in front of his car. I always thought that would be cool to know if you were on a date and you could just pull into PJ parking lot and say " Hey I got something for you, look out there" and then the moon rises right on que. If anyone knows when that's going to happen again tell me and I'll go there and propose to my girl.
I think it is June 5th of this year... Venus will transit the sun. It happened last in 2004. My brother took the photo below back then. The next time this happens is in 2117. I can tell you most of us probably will not make it and those that are around probably won't have much eyesight left so this is your last chance.
Tonight, NASA is supposed to launch 5 satellites over the course of a few minutes, and create a vapor trail light show that should be visible over the whole east coast.
But, if it's anything like the last few nights, the Cape will be fogged in.
