Six Planets Now Aligned in the Dawn Sky

If you get up any morning for the next few weeks, you’ll be treated to the sight of all the planets except Saturn arrayed along the ecliptic, the path of the sun through the sky.

For the last two months, almost all the planets have been hiding behind the sun, but this week they all emerge and are arrayed in a grand line above the rising sun. Mercury, Venus, Mars, and Jupiter are visible, and you can add Uranus and Neptune to your count if you have binoculars or a small telescope.

This sky map of the six planets shows how they should appear at dawn to observers with clear weather and an unobstructed view.

Astrologers have always been fascinated by planetary alignments, and the doomsayers of 2012 have been prophesying a mystical alignment on Dec. 21, 2012.

All of our sunshine comes in liquid form.

Took the liberty to cross-post this at ASAH.

That is a full-on skanky materialist low-blow strawman falsehood in this supposedly 'scientific' article.

If you listen to the traditional Mayan Daykeepers, they talk about change and transformation -- not doom. It is the end of a calendar, not the end of the world. Hello? Since when do so-called scientists just make shit up? Wait, forget that I asked that...

What gratuitous claptrap.

If you follow the http://www.livescience.com/3689-world-2012-hoax.html">link inside the article in the OP, you'll find that the "doomsayers of 2012" in question are people at Sony Pictures and a hoax website they created to plug their dumb movie.

Just askin'.
