POTD Astronomers' Club Alert

If your weather is anything like Northumberland it is unlikely that you will get a view of the Jupiter and Saturn Conjunction or be able to take a POTD image of it.

That's where a virtual telescope comes in handy

https://www.virtualtelescope.eu/2020/10 ... -dec-2020/

21 Dec. 2020, when we will welcome the Winter Solstice, the sky will offer us a extremely rare event: an exceptionally close, great conjunction between planets Jupiter and Saturn. They have not been so close in the sky since 1623. The Virtual Telescope Project will show this amazing event live, online!

Well you should like this then...

I spotted the solitary Santa looking out of the Closed Seaton Sluice Club Window. It caught my eye as possibly one of those decorations that get dug out every year, and look old fashioned. Keen spotters will reveal an unusual thick-columned light in the reflection, of which more over on the Trivia Investigation Team thread in due course. There are several in that part of Seaton Sluice.

Had I caught it right, the reflection would have appeared like an ethereal Santa image appearing in the sky. Image on the right one of those wiper decorations, a bit of familiarity phenomenon seeing as Jim mentioned it yesterday.

And we find the River Great Ouse has broke its banks in Paggers and the floodplains that normally protect us are overwhelmed...

This is but a hop and a skip from my house :shock: Not seen it this bad for years, if ever...

I'm cut off from the town and had to run a route that remained very local to me and looked more like a spider's web :lol:

Well, if it has a load of silt in there it will be oozing across those flood plains!

Very good James :D My house is built on alluvial silt and gravel as it sits just on the edge of the floodplain... It makes for beautifully light, well drained and light garden soil... Truly a gardener's delight...

Jut up the road as the ground rises away from the river the soil composition rapidly changes to horrid, heavy and sticky Oxford clay... The stuff Milton Keynes is built upon...

I wish we had some decent soil, ours is about 50% flint, digging a hole for a post can be half a days work. The house is built from it, and there is probably enough in the garden to build a couple more houses. Its dry enough up here though, to dry if you want to grow anything, and at 500' asl if we get flooded the rest of Charmouth would be in dead trouble. :shock:

Strangely the aquifer that supplies our well is at over 400' asl so there is obviously something keeping the water in, clay or rock I would think, must be pretty big, it supplies us with 100 gallons or more a day. 8-)

Sorry to have to say this Steve but that MkIII fills that space much better than a red Honda I've noticed there in the past!! :-D
