COZYING OF JUPITER, VENUS LIGHT UP SKY
|
|
|
|
Reports of unidentified flying objects are being made, and the most
|
|
likely explanation is the rare alignment of Jupiter and Venus.
|
|
Some Fairport Harbor residents reported seeing UFOs and large bright
|
|
objects hovering over Lake Erie over the weekend.
|
|
The Fairport Harbor Coast Guard went to the area and saw a large
|
|
bright object that seemed to disperse smaller, brightly colored objects.
|
|
But when they called the Greater Cleveland air traffic controllers, they
|
|
learned that Jupiter and Venus were in alignment and that the colors were
|
|
the result of spontaneous gas emissions from the two planets.
|
|
Its the celestial equivalent of a colorful floor show, says Charles
|
|
B. Stephenson, a professor of astronomy at Case Western Reserve
|
|
University.
|
|
The Earth's atmosphere helps create the color sensation, in the same
|
|
way that distant stars appear to twinkle.
