I said this was the 1st time mankind will see a DIRECT allignment, yes this happens before an will happen again its due to our rotation but since we are on somewhat different rotations but somewhat along the same path we only have a DIRECT allignment once in a while june 8th will be the 1st for mankind.

How can anyone measure pluto's atmosphere pressure?
Think about it. We have sent no probes there. We also can't get a clear image of it. How the heck do you tell it's atmospheric pressure?

This is why i dont want kids as yet, coz the world is changing and its gonna get worse before it gets any better, and i think the less people alive when it happens the better. I for one am looking forward to it. i think after the # hits the fan then dries. The world will be better... i just hope i survive

My view exactly.

you should not worry about things like this. Photonic belts are nonsense, photon is another name for Light, which has almost Zero Mass. its like saying a flashlight beam is capable of knocking down whoever it comes across.

as far as Venus, celestial events are spectacular, and should be held in awe and Wonder, as our ancestors did. Venus is the only planet that spins backwards. Many scientists believe this is due to a asteroid hitting the planet thousands of years ago. What is interesting is that the Mayan Calender starts at year zero close to the year that the asteroid is supposed to have hit Venus and set her spinning backward. If the asteroid story is true, venus would have shown brighter than the sun during the day, and filled the night sky. It must have been magnificent, and sent all of earths cultures searching for answers to what happened.

dont be afraid of the UNiverse, enjoy and marvel at the mystery and Beauty she offers, and the celestial show she puts on.
