So, when the sun went down every night, they got their entertainment by watching the sky. And it was entertaining. Without city lights to interfere, the Milky Way was spectacular. Meteors flitted across the sky. Zodiacal lights chased the sunset.
Of special interest were the five naked-eye planets, the ones you could see without a telescope. (The ancients didn't have telescopes, either.) Countless hours were spent watching Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn, whose movements were thought to control the affairs of men.
I've had some glued to my TV and they're quite noticeable after a while. Removal is simple with a clean cloth and some Windex.Mental Gridlock said:We probably have just as many meteors nowadays too, but nobody notices them because they're glued to the TV.
Interestingly, the Georgian Planet (Uranus...which I presume is what you are hinting at in your topic name) is barely visible if you have very clear skies & keen eyesight...but it wasn't discovered until a telescope was used.Of special interest were the five naked-eye planets, the ones you could see without a telescope.

The small number of tv tube meteors is proof of a young Earth.Mental Gridlock said:Did you buy it that way or did they build up over time?
"See Planet George from earth" is a phenomenon that occurs when the planet George is visible from Earth without the use of a telescope. This can happen during certain times of the year when the planet's orbit brings it closer to Earth.
The distance between Planet George and Earth varies depending on where the two planets are in their respective orbits. On average, Planet George is approximately 365 million miles away from Earth.
Yes, under the right conditions, Planet George can be seen with the naked eye. It is typically visible as a bright, reddish dot in the night sky.
Planet George is visible from Earth due to a combination of factors, including its distance from Earth, its size, and its reflectivity. When these factors align, the planet can be seen from Earth without the use of a telescope.
The best time to see Planet George from Earth is during its opposition, when it is directly opposite the sun in the sky. This typically occurs once every 26 months, but the exact timing can vary slightly.
