I lead stargazing classes with my city parks, and I can tell you that it's pretty much impossible to find earth in the night sky.

I don't know where you're searching, but the earth is usually pretty visible at the horizon.

Idk, bro, I've never seen Earth at the horizon, it's mostly just trees and houses and stuff. Do you have to be in dark skies?

He commented that right after texting his gf asking her to call his phone because he can’t find it

I can text people via sms through my cell service provider's web portal even if my phone is off.

The wondrous times we live in.

Wait a minute, that's not the order I've learned. Have we been lied to about MVEMJSUNP?

[–] [email protected] 23 points 6 days ago

Well, the P is silent.

you're talking about the order from the sun, but that's not necessarily how it has to appear in our sky. It's like how the stars in orion's belt are actually stupidly far from each other, and from their perspective they have absolutely nothing to do with each other.

Years ago, I think I remember seeing a screenshot- could have been from Quora, where someone was asking why we haven’t sent astronauts to the sun.

I lost a pretty big chunk of my faith in humanity that day.

Just fly at night if you worry it's too hot

[–] [email protected] 10 points 5 days ago

The sun? But that’s the hottest place on earth

[–] [email protected] 12 points 6 days ago

It's one of your last... sounds like a threat.

Unfortunately Earth is mostly below the horizon for this one. :(

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 days ago (1 children)

RemindMe: Earth rises above the Earth's horizon, for easy viewing!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 days ago

I live in a valley so the Earth rises in the north and south
