Jupiter, Neptune, Venus, Mars, and Saturn lined up early this morning. Uranus was not visible from Albuquerque, which is just fine. Mercury rises too late to be seen in the morning.

Amazing collection tonight. Beautiful sky, kitties dressed for success, and the little ones growing. Wonderful.
Thanks, Jeff. Those kitties were really cute.
Thanks for sharing the most interesting planetary photos and the kitty and owl photos too. They are all fascinating!
You are welcome, Juanita. Thanks for dropping by.
You’re welcome, Tim. Indeed, and agreed.
A beautiful collection of photos, Tim. Thanks for the morning sky one, too. It was overcast and lightly raining up here this morning.
You are welcome, Lavinia. There was a lot of smoke this morning so I wasn’t sure Saturn was going to show up. But it did. The is a little point of light where Neptune should be. I don’t know if that is Neptune or a faint star.
It’s very impressive to see so many planets together in one shot. Unfortunately, there’s so much light pollution in this part of the world and it’s very difficult to spot planets in the sky at night.
I started to watch ‘Better Call Saul’, a spin-off from the Breaking Bad tv-series. I’m always very interested to see the scenes shot in Albuquerque and the immense desert.
And it’s a very dry desert right now. We get a lot of light pollution. We I was young we could see the Milky Way, but not anymore. Thanks, Herman.
I remember that my parents showed me where to look for the Milky Way when I was a child. But unfortunately, we can’t spot it either anymore. We used to be completely in the dark so many years ago… 😉
The sky is amazing when you can get away from the lights on a clear night.
WOnderful to see those planets. Always loved going to our local observatory as a kid. And the wowols…well you had me at planets but wowls just made it epic.
It’s a parade of pics. Thanks, Shey.
well it was some parade all right .
Great line-up of the planets Timothy 🙂
Thanks, Rudi.
Timothy, how many cats you have? This white is little angry, maybe she is hungry or sleepy? ❤️
Hi Marine. Those two are not my cats. The white one has interesting slanted eyes that give her an angry look. She’s very sweet, however.. We have 7 cats.
7 cats? Sounds warm and big family ❤️
Never a dull moment. I always have a cat at hand.
😊
What a parade, Tim! Adorable kitties! Medieval dinner?
All the dishes were prepared from Medieval recipes. The food was good. Thanks, Marina.
That sounds very interesting!
The food was good, but none of it had an exotic taste to it. I assume that’s because the ingredients we have available he are processed differently than in the middle ages. If we could somehow get medieval ingredients I’m sure the dishes would have had very different tastes.
I’m curious what they were!
I’ll see if I can get a list of the dishes.
quite a planet and menachery parade Tim, The cats look unimpressed.. they must have missed the butterflies. So pretty. Peekaboo owlet number two.. where are you hiding?
💖💖
Thanks, Cindy.
That butter (maybe a mourning cloak) looks a bit battered. Did the cats get to go to a medieval dinner or was that a metaphor forgoing medieval on an unlucky mouse ha! Amazing how fast owlets grow.
The owlets do grow fast. They had Bugs Bunny for dinner last night. Thanks, Brian.
Great to see these thriving owls.. And the planets in alignment… We are in interesting times for sure.. 🙂
Thanks, Sue.
Lol
Smoke and Ice out to dinner with the Addams Family
I hope ice behaved herself
And Smoke was too out of his element that he got some awkward medieval glances come his way.
Such and intereesting katamatch.
Thanks, abvr.
It’s ok Timothy
You are welcome
How did you learn to tell one planet from another?
Anyway, very cool!
Smoke and Ice are pretty kitties. Who do they live with?
I look them up on the web. I use the time and date website to get when the moon and planets rise and set and where they are in the sky.
There are apps that tell you what’s in the night sky, but I don’t use any of them.
Cool!
Those kitties belong to Anita. She’s a professor at UNM. We went to her house for a medieval dinner party and I met the kitties.
Great shots of 2 beauties,Tim!!
Wait. Who are those two cats? Love the alignment and the owl family.
Those cats are clear across town. They are sweethearts. Thanks, Dale.
They look like sweethearts.
