PERIHELION
Tonight something happens in the sky, but there's nothing to see.
Q: Did you know that perihelion, the point during the year when the Earth is closest to the Sun, occurs around this date every year? -- see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/January_3
In 2020, perihelion takes place tonight --at precisely 2:48 a.m. EST on January 5.-- see https://www.travelandleisure.com/trip-ideas/space-astronomy/what-is-perihelion-day-2020
FYI: Graphic below shows 2019-2020
@chikara Thanks, nice post -- too bad we are in the Northern hemisphere and miss the extra heat this could bring.
Warm in the South, infernal in Australia, many wild forest fire there. I am happy to see you posting here again, Chikara! TY...
