Greetings star friends, Trace here.
Conjunctions are used in storytelling

00:05.905 --> 00:10.610 align:left position:75% line:83% size:15%
as harbingers of fantastical plot lines and
extraordinary events but if you watch the sky

00:10.710 --> 00:14.681 align:left position:67.5% line:83% size:22.5%
enough you'll see that conjunctions are actually
pretty common. We've got a handful coming up,

00:14.781 --> 00:19.886 align:left position:70% line:83% size:20%
let me show. The term conjunction means objects
are close together in the sky and this week on

00:19.986 --> 00:24.391 align:left position:77.5% line:83% size:12.5%
September 9th the thin crescent moon will
meet the evening star of Venus in the west

00:24.491 --> 00:28.695 align:left position:80% line:83% size:10%
just after sunset. Then next week we'll
see an even bigger conjunction of three

00:28.795 --> 00:32.699 align:left position:85% line:83% size:5%
objects the Moon with Saturn on the
16th and then Jupiter on the 17th.

00:32.799 --> 00:39.005 align:left position:70% line:83% size:20%
Follow the moon all week to see it grow larger
and pass the two gas giants. That's it. That's

00:39.105 --> 00:43.243 align:left position:75% line:83% size:15%
a conjunction. They're prophecies of great
stargazing but I wouldn't fear some kind

00:43.343 --> 00:47.343 align:left position:72.5% line:83% size:17.5%
of conjunctive power other than the power to
hold your attention while you keep looking up.
