Anyone want to watch? Triple show with a once in a lifetime coincidence?

Update:

A conjunction of the full moon and Jupiter at the equinox happens once every 27 years? It will only happen once in MY lifetime.

    You forgot to add that Uranus can be found nearby as well.

    Now *that* 3-way conjunction will only happen once in your lifetime (and not for a few more lifetimes to come...)

    And of course, we are looking at a 'near-approach' opposition of Jupiter - closer than in the past 50 years or so, I've been informed. So that makes it pretty cool as well.

    This happens once every 27 years or so. You must have a short lifetime.
