The Internet tends to show you more of whatever you seem to
like. (Warning: if you’re always clicking on headlines that make you angry, and
posting comments while you’re seeing red, the Internet is going to assume it’s
what you prefer, and show you more of that.) I spent a lot of time reading about
the last three solar eclipses, so today my newsfeed is full of the “planetary
parade” coming next week. Across the pre-dawn sky next Friday, Saturday, Sunday
and Monday, six planets (and one moon) will line up. Okay, they don’t ACTUALLY line
up. It only looks that way from Earth's point of view. And most of the planets –
Jupiter, Mercury, Uranus and Neptune – won’t be visible to the naked eye. But I’m
the one who loves to spot the International Space Station whenever I can. So, I’ll
be up early, looking for Saturn, Mars and the moon. Unless it’s raining.
