Porcella, Jupiter and Saturn

°

Porcella.
 

Porcella in the oven.
Porcella or porcelleta, anyways the delicious suckling pig.
Germans call it Spanferkel.

The Majorcan porcelleta is special as the pigs here are black.

The Rancho Grande is famous for its black pigs and one of the biggest 
black Pig farmers on the whole Mallorca.

And after the porcella long lunch you just have to 
walk to the beach.


Cala Anguilla after sunset.

Die felsigen Landzungen zu beiden Seiten der Bucht sind ein attraktives 
Schnorchelrevier. Wellengang gibt es dank der geschützten Lage kaum 
und die Sicht unter der Wasseroberfläche ist hervorragend.

Wir müssen wohl im Sommer einige Buchten besuchen.


With the help of my app I could see where the two planets,
Jupiter and Saturn were situated. It was too early to see any stars.

Of course, I missed the great conjunction on 21.12. but ...
in 20 years again we can see them meet.

Jupiter is brighter than any star. Saturn isn’t as bright as Jupiter, but it’s as 
bright as the brightest stars and shines with a distinctly golden color. 
Saturn is just to the east of Jupiter on the sky’s dome. The two are noticeable 
for their brightness and nearness to each other.

Jupiter-Saturn conjunctions happen every 20 years; the last one was 
in the year 2000. But these conjunctions aren’t all created equal. The 2020 
great conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn will be the closest since 1623 and 
the closest observable since 1226! 2020’s extra-close Jupiter-Saturn 
conjunction won’t be matched again until the Jupiter-Saturn conjunction 
of March 15, 2080.
