June 18, 3502 BC – A rare opportunity for a family photo of all the planets, gathered together in the same region of the sky, in the constellation Leo; as reconstructed by the Stellarium program.
The above screenshot was posted here a quite a few years ago because it was very interesting, and surprising – but with only a minimal understanding of its actual significance. As of the first week of January 2021, this has changed. It turns out that this configuration of the planets and its timing in history actually has deep significance. See “The sign of 3502 BC – its significance and its fulfillment” for the details.
If you haven’t been to this site before, let me recommend “Looking at Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn together” as one of the places that pulls things together in a significant way. It’s on the menu under “Planet Cycles”, following the individual info on the cycles of Saturn, Jupiter, and Mars as marked by Venus. These cycles have been mapped out with respect to the star Regulus, the brightest star of the constellation Leo – seen in the middle of the lineup of planets in the above reconstruction. For some of the basic astronomical details behind all this, some of the other menu items will be helpful – Astronomical Background, Normal Stars, Planet Cycles, & Lunar Calendar. For more info on the purpose of this site, see the “About” menu. Please get in touch if you’d like to collaborate on this ongoing study.
