It is almost the winter solstice

[Jitendra Hydonus]

It is almost the winter solstice in 2023 and Jupiter is rising and setting at night in the northern hemisphere with the Big Dipper clearly in the northern sky like all winter solstice’s and Orian in the Southern sky.

I continue to see Orion in the southern sky, this time of year. This morning I was up at 5:55 am and saw it descending in the south western sky.

What looks like a "sword", dangling from Orion's "belt" is the Orion Nebula (M42). It is distanced about 1350 light-years from Earth.

Thanks Uwe;

For some reason, Sirius and Orion occupy a special place in the culture of ancient civilizations in Egypt and around the world.

From Egypt to Mexico in both directions, scientists have discovered buildings and monuments created with detailed precision modeled on the constellation Orion. It was once the center of the sky of our ancient ancestors.

Ancient Egyptians created their calendar in accordance with Sirius

The night sky was different several thousand years ago. We are unfortunate enough to see far too few stars in the night sky due to the increased air pollution. Once upon a time, the sky was a sight of wonders.

As you probably know, Sirius is the brightest star in the sky, and the Egyptians knew that. However, its importance was far more significant as it was their way to determine the beginning of their new year. Far more curious is the fact that the Egyptian calendar had 365 days.

Orion’s Belt points to Sirius

It’s one of the neatest tricks in all the heavens: Orion’s Belt points to Sirius, the sky’s brightest star. On September mornings, you’ll find both Orion the Hunter and the very bright star Sirius in the eastern part of the sky before dawn. They’ll be shifting into the evening sky as the months pass. Identify them now, and enjoy them for months to come.

Also, sometimes there are bright planets in the east before dawn. And those planets might outshine even Sirius. In fact, in September 2023, Venus is near Sirius and definitely outshines our brightest star. What’s more, sometimes there are bright planets in the evening sky in northern winter, when Orion and Sirius shine brightly. And those planets, too, might be brighter than the sky’s brightest star. In those cases, how can you be sure the object you’re looking at is Sirius? The constellation Orion is your ticket. No matter where you are, no matter what time of year it is, Orion’s Belt always points to Sirius.

It has been an unusually warm winter solstice, mainly because of local conditions here (warm adiabatic winds: descending from mountains). But these winds have been pretty common this season.

There you are! Nice to hear from you and pray for your welfare. It is difficult to ignore the obvious when you make such observations above Brother. It was most probably the hot 🥵 air coming out of somebodies bombastic mouth over the Atlantic that you are experiencing, on this ‘winter solstice’ It’s old folks that can tell the young, the changes in the seasons we’ve seen in our small life times. Although I clearly remember my father telling me that ‘before I was born you could drive a car across the ice on Lake Michigan.’ And he was the type of guy that would defend a guy like Fuhrer Trump. Driving a car across Lake Michigan today over ice is unthinkable. It’s unsafe to drive across most small lakes. Driving on the ice of Lake Michigan; Something you could never do as I grew up. The ice is just no longer there to do it. “When I was a kid, I remember “ Remember we would hear that as children? But today the responses from our generation are much more draconian about the warmer climate than ever before and the contrasts. I’m just glad to hear that your explanations do not include a “Chinese hoax” mccoy. It is sad indeed to hear a leader of the ‘free world’ completely in denial. It’s always ‘the other guy’ for every reason given for conditions we ourselves have created. Let’s pass the blame on someone else becomes parotted by a the people of our country when we have such indoctrination. And… The former president added in his “Truth Social post” that he was "looking forward" to arguments before the appeals court next month, while reiterating false claims about the 2020 presidential election.

People, including me, talk about the karmic effects the younger generations will face because of climate changes caused by our generation. But what about where we will be born next because of being the original culprits? And the effects of letting a psychopathic liar influence generations to come? ‘Double speak’ and lying has become a hallmark of our generation as a result. And the Fuhrer isn’t the only one responsible. He just made it into a cult following, and features previews for the possible scenario film to come. ‘1984 a cult sequel.’ With Fuhrer Trump playing the President again.
