Syzygies

I''m posting because the word "syzygy" makes me smile. I look good with
a smile on my face. The best known syzygies are the eclipses of the
Sun and the Moon I just thought that a lunar eclipse would be
spectacular if a picture of it were taken on the Moon. A number of other
terms cover other forms of syzygies,such as the word "occultation"
that's when the eclipsing object appears much larger than the one
covered.Then we have the word "transit" and that means the reverse. We
saw great transit picture of Venus crossing the Sun. I know this post
means little to you well educated college people,but to me not knowing
what words stand for(their meaning) would put me at a great
disadvantage. Bad enough i can't spell them,but I'm working on that.
