When I looked first time through telescope at the brightest "star" and saw another 4 smaller "stars" perfectly aligned with it I had a "WTF wrong with this Universe?" moment before realizing it was Jupiter :)
- dylan604 4y agoPretty much what Galileo and those that came first probably thought too.
- em-bee 4y agoi discovered this by chance some time last year. being in a city those were the only things visible besides a few other stars, so that line spreading over half the sky really stood out. it was only 3 visible planets and the moon, although pluto was in there too, just not bright enough. obviously not as impressive as the current view, but although i had an interest in watching stars already a few decades earlier it was the first time i noticed that this was happening, and it made me feel much closer to our solar system. i was looking up there and thought: wow, this is my neighboorhood. this is home.
