Figured this is worth it's own thread... https://www.msn.com/en-us/lifestyle...time-in-800-years/ar-BB1bORKI?li=BBnb7KzShould be an extraordinarily bright star in the sky tonight, and with the winter solstice being tonight, might be a good view of it.

Does anybody know how high off the horizon to look? I can't find that info anywhere. Only to look to the SW.

You are not a good or nice person.

![[Linked Image]](https://texasfishingforum.com/forums/pics/userpics/2020/12/full-14128-78336-chrismas_star.jpg) From last night (12/20). Jupiter and Saturn is the bright light in middle of picture. You should be able to zoom in on it and see both planets. You can also see the reflection in the lake.

"..The pleasantist angling is to see the fish
Cut with her golden oars the silver stream,
And greedily devour the treacherous bait.
