December will bring a sight in the sky not seen since the Middle Ages, astronomers say
Jupiter and Saturn are about to line up in a way not seen since the Middle Ages, astronomers say.
www.independent.co.uk

When the sun sets on 21 December – the winter solstice – people looking up to the sky will see Jupiter and Saturn closer than anyone alive has ever seen them before.

It will be the first time that such a sight has been seen for 800 years.

“Alignments between these two planets are rather rare, occurring once every 20 years or so, but this conjunction is exceptionally rare because of how close the planets will appear to one another,” said Rice University astronomer Patrick Hartigan in a statement.

“You’d have to go all the way back to just before dawn on March 4, 1226, to see a closer alignment between these objects visible in the night sky.”

The approach of the two planets has been going on since the summer. As it reaches its peak, between 16 December and Christmas Day, they will be separated by less than the width of a full Moon.

“On the evening of closest approach on Dec 21 they will look like a double planet, separated by only 1/5th the diameter of the full moon,” said Professor Hartigan.

“For most telescope viewers, each planet and several of their largest moons will be visible in the same field of view that evening.”

The two planets should be visible to anyone on Earth, as long as the weather allows an unrestricted view. But the best visibility will come about an hour after sunset – when the planets will appear low in the western sky – and will look better nearer the equator.

For anyone who misses the astronomical pairing, there will be another chance to see the sight in 2080. After that there will not be another opportunity until after 2400.

Tequila Confessions

Title: Tequila Confessions

Pairing: Steve Rogers x Reader

Type: Challenge // One-Shot

Word Count: 1,134

Summary: Getting drunk and confessing your feelings for Steve Rogers really wasn’t your plan for the night, but Kevin Bacon and Whitney Houston had other ideas.

Warnings: language, alcohol, drunken and disorderly conduct, bad singing, pure and utter chaos

A/N:  The queen herself, @heli0s-writes​, hit a pretty big milestone so we had to celebrate! I hope this ridiculous story brings you a fraction of the joy your writing has brought to me, sweet friend!

  • Prompt: In Vino Veritas

There’s no way to know for certain, but you’re pretty sure this is all Kevin Bacon’s fault. 

If Natasha and Tony hadn’t watched Footloose the other night, they wouldn’t have gotten the idea to host an 80’s themed party and you wouldn’t be sitting in your bathroom painting your eyelids turquoise.

But you are. So… obviously Kevin Bacon is to blame.

The entire bathroom smells like hairspray by the time you slide into the high-waisted jeans. When you pull the white tank top over your head, you’re careful not to smudge the pink blush covering your cheeks. It’s important it doesn’t get ruined because it perfectly matches the oversized blazer you’re about to put on.

Stepping back from the mirror, you get a good look at your reflection and nod in approval. This outfit is a whole mood and you know it. 

Maybe it will be enough to finally get Steve Rogers to notice you.
