Subject: Re: Planet Gossip From: duxbury+@andrew.cmu.edu (Rebecca W. Duxbury) Date: 1991-06-13, 06:53 Newsgroups: alt.tv.twin-peaks Did anyone notice an article in the Pittsburgh Press yesterday about the planets (venus, mars, jupiter and the moon?) nearing each other this weekend? They refer to it as a near miss (to the eye, really still a great distance away). The article said that the last time they were this close was 25 years ago and that it is believed that a past alignment was thought to be the star of Bethlehem. When Laura Palmer said that she would see Cooper in 25 years, do you think it was possible she meant 25 years in the past somehow? It is strange that the alignment date was exactly 25 years ago. I can copy the article here if anyone is interested. I left the article at home (reason why I am not sure of exact planets).
