Welcome to the Biden boom. “Forecasts” of real economic growth now run in the 7% to 8% range… If that happens it will mark the fastest four-quarter growth spurt since 1984.”– Alan S. Binder, “Welcome to Joe Biden’s Boom Economy,” Wall Street Journal, April 22, 2021.
On Thursday Biden officials leaked that they will soon propose raising the federal tax on capital gains to 43.4% from a top rate of 23.8% today. The midday leak managed to tank stocks with the S&P falling the most in more than a month. Treasury yields also fell on the news as investors discounted the prospect for growth. “A 43.4% Capital Gains Tax?” Opinion Page, Wall Street Journal, April 23, 2021.
Keep watching the skies as Jupiter and Saturn continue their spectacular display

mardi, 22 décembre 2020 à 11:00 - The Great Conjunction may be over, but Jupiter and Saturn aren t done showing off.
On December 21, we were witness to the greatest Great Conjunction seen in nearly 800 years. Keep your eyes on the southwest horizon just after sunset in the week to come, though, as Jupiter and Saturn continue to put on an amazing show.
The two most massive planets in our solar system have been a constant sight in our night skies so far in 2020. Throughout the year, the Jupiter and Saturn have appeared to be locked in a slow dance. Drawing closer and closer for the first half of the year, they then pulled apart again until Fall, and then they slowly approaching again, night by night, leading up to the Winter Solstice.

Australian Photographer Captures Exact Moment ISS Passed Through Jupiter-Saturn Conjunction

An Australian photographer has captured a photograph in which the International Space Station (ISS) can be seen moving between Jupiter and Saturn during the Great Conjunction, reported Colossal.
The Great Conjunction is when two planets appear closest together in the sky. This event occurs roughly every two decades. But the one that happened this year on December 21 was special because, during this Great Conjunction, Jupiter and Saturn appeared closer together in the sky than they have since March 4, 1226.
Many photographers and space enthusiasts trained their cameras towards the event and shot photos of the event. However, one among them definitely stands out for capturing ISS, a habitable artificial satellite and a multinational collaborative project, moving between the two glowing planets.

Great Conjunctions are rare enough on their own but last night s meeting of Jupiter and Saturn was a truly once-in-a-lifetime spectacle. On the evening of Monday, December 21, the two gas giants came closer than at any time in the last 400 years - about 0.1 degrees apart - and marked the closest Great Conjunction seen in nearly 800 years. And although from our point of view the planets lengthy orbits bring them together once every 20 years, Great Conjunctions are not guaranteed to happen in the evening or the nighttime.
