I agree with Helen and Paul. As an amateur astronomer my first and foremost thought is thanks to the Creator for the miracle of life – that we are able to see and enjoy the wondrous beauty of the universe.

I tell ya, the crescent moon is a heckuva thing to try to find in broad daylight. I’m in the midwest here so, the sun is at 18-degrees above the horizon when the Venus occultation started at 7:45am, and after an hour of searching I still can’t find the dang thing. Perhaps the assumption that it would be visible from my location was a bit generous, or maybe I’m ill equipped or just plain blind. Either way, here I am watching it in Stellarium instead. I should’ve stayed in bed!

Question? Could there be four earth like planets revolving around a sun. All the plannets would support life. All four plants would not be the same size. Would one plannet block the sun from the other 3 plannets?
