Jimmy Carter thought Venus was a UFO.

On January 6, 1969 the sky was clear in Leary and the planet Venus was near its maximum brightness and in the direction described by Carter. Ufologist Robert Sheaffer concluded that the object that Carter witnessed was a misidentification of Venus[5] (Peebles 1994:205). This could also be the Venus "Halo" [1], as was discussed on The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe podcast #105[6] in a 2007 interview with Jimmy Carter. In the interview Carter stated that he did not believe the object was Venus, explaining that he was an amateur astronomer and knew what Venus looked like. He also said that as a scientist he did not believe it was an alien craft and at the time assumed it was probably a military aircraft from a nearby base. However, he said that the object did not make any sound like a helicopter would do. Carter also said that he did not believe that any extraterrestrials have visited Earth. He also stated he knows of no government cover-up of extraterrestrial visits and that the rumors that the CIA refused to give him information about UFOs are not true.

Man, I'd like to see Venus then

I used to think Jupiter was Venus...until one mourning I saw an object 3 times the size..said to myself, well damn...can't be Venus I had previously thought. Looked up Jupiter being 2nd most visible. It was December when I saw it around 4am....usually Venus is near the Sun....when you can see it before sunrise.

The hotter, orange star in Orion's shoulder will be as bright as the moon one day..maybe brighter.

It's awesome the fact that when we see stars twinkle, we're looking back in time. Takes hundreds of years for that light to reach our eyes.

      2025 Roster Cuts

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      It's definitely a historical issue at QB but to be perfectly blunt, we also don't do a good job of really developing almost any position if you look at the last decade or so. I tend to be on the side of that being far less a development issue than an evaluation deficiency.  I think we are in the situation at QB2/3 recently due to the overall roster being absolutely abhorrent and the QB classes being quite thin. It is harder to justify another Matt Corral(or several) when you can potentially get a real two deep contributor at other positions.  But, it was a lot of hard work to get to the point where are roster is so incredibly bad that luxury picks literally are not in our vocabulary.  This is the reaping what you sow portion of our history.

      That is what I meant about our front office. They are like someone filling out a March Madness bracket based on preference of uniform colors and mascots. There's no rhyme of reason to some of these fugg'n mind numbing decisions they make.  They go all in on these flimsy-@ss prospects and are gun shy when it comes to more solid prospects.  It's literally maddening and the reason I stopped being so emotionally involved in this team. Heck the only reason I'm active on the board today is one, it's my day off and two, it's cut down time.
