   OK this properly belongs in sci.astro but I don't know anybody over   
   there and I need to know that my news client is working, so you all get   
   to suffer.   
      
   The eve sky in the Northern Hemisphere is putting up quite the planetary   
   show in these days of Fall 2020. Something to redeem 2020. So in the   
   evening after sunset if you look to the south southwest you can easily see   
   Jupiter and Saturn. Then as the evening wears on after around 9:30 ET   
   look in the East-Southeast for Mars which rules the night. Then early in   
   the morning around 4:30 ET look in the Southeast for super bright Venus.   
      
   All visible to the naked eye.*

   *Although off-topic at least has it some relevance to Space and of   
    hopefully some (small) value to you the readers. I had thought of   
    posting a question like: "When a rocket takes off why is the bottom   
    always on fire? Why doesn't it take off without being on fire? Does it   
    ever take off with fire coming from the side or the top? Isn't this   
    bad? Where do all the ashes go?   
      
   **Be afraid when I change news clients. Be very afraid....
