Thinks that probably don't happen at warehouse stores...

Sorry I did not post this earlier. This New Year's Staurn will be the closest to Earth since 1975. What makes it interesting is that it's rings will be tilted towards us. This will not happen again until 2034. You need about a 30x telescope to get a good view. At midnight it will be directly overhead with a yellowish tint in North America. Better than fireworks with the right kind of wine.
P.S.
I intended to send this as a new topic. I apologize for the confusion.
