Been told to expect NOT to see some crazy planetary alignment thing happening over the skies of Stoke at around 4am.
Cloudy.
Is this the Stairway to Heaven. The end of the Mayan calendar?
Or just an event organised to coincide with the return of Our Ryan?
{Stellar pun intended.}

Out of the annals of Dr. Cox maybe. But it doesn't provide any astrological answers.  Should be Holst and nowt else on here. ... mmm or a bit of Sun Ra. He's been all around that region after all. |

Googled it. Wonder wjhat 2021 will herald for Stoke.
Venus Jupiter and Mars will dance in a rare cosmic triangle.
Venus and Mars were Jupiter's children in Roman mythology, and it seems the three will have a family reunion in the sky throughout October. Venus, Mars, and Jupiter will come close together in the sky before dawn this week, in a "planetary dance" which will be admired by stargazers and astronomers worldwide. It's more common that two planets come together in alignment in the night sky year-round, but it is much rarer to have three group together.
This unusual configuration in the sky is exceptionally rare because these planets don't normally line up. It takes Venus 225 days to orbit the sun, Mars 686 days and Jupiter 12 years. The next time the planets will come together like this will be in January 2021.
