Something remarkable is about to happen in the evening sky. Three planets and a star cluster are converging for a close encounter ...
Thursday, June 15th, is a special night. En route to Saturn, Mars will pass directly in front of the Beehive...
In mid-June, Mercury leaps out of the glare of the Sun, soaring into the evening sky not far from Saturn and Mars. Greatest visibility occurs around June 15th, the same night Mars "explodes" in the Beehive. Mercury is easy to see even from over-lit cities...
Finally, the climax: On Saturday, June 17th, Mars and Saturn draw so close together you might think they're going to collide. (They won't.) Stick out your pinky and hold it at arm's length. The two planets will fit behind the tip with room to spare. Mercury, meanwhile, hovers just below: sky map. Wow!
Mark your calendar: May 31st, June 7th, June 15th, June 17th. Four sunsets, three planets and a star cluster--not a bad way to end the day.

the world is ending. what you fail to remember is that there have been prolly 50 quakes in cali in the past week, so just because one occured in mongolia while they are happening in ak doesnt mean anything. they happen all the time in areas like these

I would love making a geographic location of all the quakes in order to check the location, direction, etc. but they are taking place so often, they are so many and... I am not sure how to do it...
Has anybody tried it?
Would you be so kind to post it or to give us a link if you have a website showing it?
Thank you.
