But Mercury and Jupiter were skulking around out there too, but were only visible around 5:30pm central time, to the southwest of Venus just above the horizon.
Now granted, the linear alignment may not have an R^2 of 1, but its pretty darn close. Its got at least a 0.985 if I've ever seen it.
I went inside worried that the end of all things had come, but then was relieved to see that Dick Clark was still alive and hosting his New Years Eve special, so things must be fine. This is just a general omen of otherworldly dread, not necessarily an immediate portend to unprecedented disaster.I look forward to greeting the Great Old Ones when they arise from their subterranean crypts due to this celestial alignment. Wait, maybe they already have...
Happy New Year Everybody!Ftaghn!

Good post, Jack Horkheimer.
After reading this, I went out on my deck to see Venus too. I don't know how long it's out. But I saw the big dipper instead. And I saw that my bare feet were getting cold.
Mercury and Jupiter were only visible for about 30 minutes. Venus was visible all evening.
Also remember to always check the celestial alignments with your shoes on, you never know where you'll end up.
Love the picture of Ryan and Dick!
